Bone marrow falls into one of those categories for me that, if it’s on the menu, I’m going to order it. It’s right up there with sea urchin, foie gras and caviar – decadent, rich, a little goes a long way. This roasted bone marrow recipe is a quick and simple way to prepare it at home for a light snack or appetizer, save yourself $15 or $20 and cement your status as a culinary genius with anyone who tries it. The sauce is a modified chimichurri sauce which contains all the items needed to make that liquid gold bone marrow sizzle with flavor – acid, herbs, salt and pepper.

This modified chimichurri sauce gets better with age and will keep about a week. Make it a day in advance for max flavor if you have time, but, for this dish, it was made as the bone marrow was roasting and came out perfectly fine. Taste and modify the sauce according to your palate.
