(Serves 4)

8 x 6-8cm Beef marrow bones, washed

 

Salad:

1 Cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

2 Small shallots, thinly sliced (approx. ⅓ cup)

2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 Tablespoon capers, drained

Salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

4 x 2cm Slices sourdough, (thick slices) toasted

 

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 230 degrees Celsius. Place the drained and dried marrow bones in a roasting pan, cut side up roast bones until the marrow has puffed slightly and is warm in the centre, but before it begins to melt, approx. 15-20 mins, depending on thickness of the bone. Watch carefully as once the marrow is hot, the dish must be served; otherwise, the marrow will continue to melt away.
  2. Toss parsley, shallots, oil, lemon juice and capers in a medium sized bowl Season salad to taste with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper Divide marrow bones and salad among plates. Serve with toast and salt flakes.

To Serve:

Using a spoon, scoop beef marrow onto the toast, top with salad and garnish with a pinch or two of salt flakes.
