Not commonly cooked but exceptionally rich is the marrow in bones. This bone marrow toast recipe showcases this rare ingredient.

To get the marrow to a perfect texture and flavor hot temperatures are needed. If cooking on a cold day it may be a good idea to use a lid to help increase the temperature around the bone marrow.

This recipe uses a range of ingredients in the skillet to provide subtle flavors to the cooking marrow but is then kept separate in its own puree to allow the eaters to season the toast to their own preference.

Recipe Directions

1. Season the bone marrow both sides with some salt.

2. In a hot skillet add the bone marrow, onion, garlic, and peppers. Cook, occasionally turning the bone marrow and stirring the vegetables.
