Roasted Bone Marrow: Take Two
After a failed marrow bone roasting adventure last weekend, I finally found some roasting-appropriate beef marrow bones yesterday at Eastern Market's Union Meat Company . . . less than a buck a pound. I kept the preparation simple. I roasted the bones naked at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, toasted some store-bought baguette and made a spread from fresh oregano, olive oil, capers and kosher salt. After three weeks of searching, I finally got my fix . . . definitely worth the bike ride across town to score the bones. I was in meat-butter heaven!
ooooohh.....I want a bite!!!!
bone marrow is so sexy. In fact, I think I'm going to stop by the butcher and see if I can get me some bones for a V-day dinner.

You're awesome! We must have identical palates separated at birth. I'm seriously digging everything. Seriously. BTW, where did you find those lovely marrow spoons?

Thanks, Julie. I bought the spoons yesterday at a little specialty coffee and cooking shop here in DC called Coffee & the Works. They're made by Bodum and I'm not sure what their intended purpose is, but they were great for marrow. I think they may be discontinued though . . . the closest thing on the Bodum USA Web site is the "Columbia apertif fork/spoon" . . . which is shaped the same way, but has a funky fork at one end. Coffee & the Works has a couple more in stock . . . at least two as of yesterday . . . and they're only $3.99. Would you like me to send you a couple? I'm happy to, so don't be shy and say "no" if you'd like to add a couple to your arsenal!

THANK YOU for round two! I thought the last attempted looked beautiful, and was disappointed with you that it didn't pan out. This looks sublime and really has me on a bent now, to try it. Especially when it's so economical. Bookmarked!

Holy molly man! That last picture looks heavenly. I'm drooling! I'll have to try it with capers now. Who needs butter when you can have bone marrow.

Montsouris on 21st and P has the best bone marrow in the city. They sell it as an appetizer and cut it the long way, which makes it even easier to get to (thus better).
