Marrow is Yummy




So tonight we were gifted with marrow bones. It really is God's butter, pure essence of deliciousness.
Beef bones we marinated in 1 cup extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of rosemary, 10 garlic cloves sliced, two good grinds of pepper, the juice of 1 lemon, 2 teaspoons himalayan pink salt. We let that marinate until the oven reached 450 degrees then we popped the bones in along with some oil brushed bread and some veggies. 20 minutes later we feasted. It is such a primal and delicious taste- earth, animal, fat and salt. I can't think of anything better.

Today was quite a day. After making tons of marshmallows and working on Ladies' Night Out, we needed a nice meal. A delivery of meat for smoking yielded an unexpected treat: bones. Alexa's right--they are full of deliciousness.

When we arrived home from the grocery store (to pick up a few things to go with our bones), I made lemondrop martinis. We enjoyed them while the bones roasted. Dinner was heaven.

  1. Can you tell me more about the beef bones? Do you ask for them from the butcher? Are you just eating the insides? Sorry for all the questions, but it looks and sounds like it would be yummy!

  2. Hi Rebecca!
    Sorry I havent been on here in a little bit. Yes, ask your butcher for marrow bones- try to find a real butcher. Yes, you are eating the squishy stuff on the insides. They are fantastic- I cant say enough good stuff about them.
