Stuffed Marrow Bones Recipes

STUFFED MARROW BONES

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add marrow bones and boil 10 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside to cool. Remove and discard any excess meat and fibers. Let stand until completely dry.
• In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons clarified butter over medium. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender.
• In another medium skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons clarified butter over medium. Add bread and cook, stirring frequently, until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• In a medium skillet, combine marrow, sauteed mushrooms, and croutons over medium heat. Toss to combine; cook 2 minutes. Stir in fines herbes. Mound mixture into each marrow bone.

SPANISH STUFFED MARROW

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut the marrow in half lengthways and scoop out the middle. Put the halves, cut-side up, in a large roasting tin and season.
• Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onion and sweat on a low heat for 10 mins until soft. Add the garlic, chorizo, spices and dried herbs. Cook for a few mins, then add the tomatoes and peppers. Turn down to a low simmer and cook for 10 mins, then stir through the parsley.
• Spoon the tomato mixture into the marrow halves, cover with foil and bake for 30 mins. Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and Manchego, and return to the oven for 10 mins until the crumbs are golden and crisp, and the marrow is tender.

ROAST MARROW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C / fan 170°C / 375°F / gas mark 5.
• Place the cubes of marrow in a large roasting dish. For best results, arrange them in a single layer to increase the caramelisation to take place from all angles. Use two or more roasting dishes, if need be.
• Mix the oil, garlic, sugar and salt in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle the mixture over the marrow and mix the marrow by hand until all marrow surfaces are covered.
• Place the roasting tin/s in the oven for 45 minutes, giving the vegetable a toss and a turn every 15 minutes or so. Since marrow is quite watery, you have the option to spoon out any excess water or cook it for longer in order for the liquid to cook off.
• As soon as the marrow is cooked and lightly browned, you can remove it from the oven. If not, bake for another 15 minutes or so.
• Serve immediately as part of a main meal. Enjoy!

STUFFED MARROW BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion, garlic and 2 tsp of the herbs for 3 mins until starting to soften. Add the turkey and brown all over, then tip in the tomatoes and cook for 5 mins more.
• Scoop out the middle of the marrow and discard (or fry, then freeze for another time - try it mashed with potato). Arrange the slices in a baking dish. Spoon the mince into the middle of each marrow slice, then spoon the rest over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, mix remaining herbs with the breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Remove the marrow from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle over the crumbs. Return to the oven for 10 mins more until crumbs are golden and crisp and marrow is tender.
