Whether you are looking to roast Marrow Bones to consume as a meal or whether you are wanting to make bone broth out of them, this post has you covered!

This was my showtime time always having Roasted Bone Marrow. Frankly, I had Naught idea what to look.

All I knew is I had to endeavour it, because well, information technology's allegedly the highest, bestest, supremest brain food that is available out in that location, it'due south super nutrient dense, does admittedly awesome things for your body and yadi yadi ya. Plus, well, I had some in the freezer from my previous beef club. Now it was either me who was gonna get it, or the dogs.

I figured I owed it to myself to at least requite it a try…

While doing a little bit of research on the subject, I happened to learn that, manifestly, this would be Anthony Bourdain's dish selection for his last and ultimate meal.

Uhm, I thought to myself. Surely, if a homo deems this dish worthy of having as his final meal, then it has to be some kind of undervalued treasure, an exquisite delicacy of some sort. Or at the very to the lowest degree, a more than acceptable fare…

All that information was more than enough to convince me that I NEEDED not only to try bone marrow, merely I needed to Like IT.
And and then began the not bad Roasted Bone Marrow experiment…

Information technology is said that 1 should attempt and select bones that are fairly large with big thick tubes of marrow. And they shouldn't exist as well tall either, because and then it would make it actually hard to get all of that precious marrow out.

Of class, one could always get their butcher to slice them in one-half for them. Or 1 could also get the long, narrow bones that commonly come pre-sliced.

The basic need to roast at a fairly loftier temperature, for virtually 10-fifteen minutes, depending on thickness.

You want to take them out of the oven when they go nicely crispy and golden and the marrow becomes soft and starts to bubble a little bit. Be careful not to overdo the cooking, or your marrow will finish up completely melted down. The marrow, when done roasting, should exist enjoyably warm but not exactly hot.
