Marrowbone Canapes Roberts Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a large 4- to 6-quart container with 6 cups cold water and whisk in 2 tablespoons of the kosher salt to dissolve. Add the marrow bones, cut-side down, and top with the ice. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a rack in the center position.
• Drain the bones and pat dry with paper towels. You want the bones to cook as level as possible to minimize the loss of fat as it renders out, so place them cut-side down on a small sheet pan. Cover with a generous layer of aluminum foil, then use your hands to mold the foil around the bones and sides of the pans. Place a second pan on top of the foil, then flip the whole apparatus over. Remove the sheet pan that is now on top to reveal the bones, cut-side up, and nestled in foil. They should be pretty close to dead level.
• Roast the bones for 8 minutes, then rotate the pan and continue roasting until the bones have browned and the marrow is spreadable and soft, but not melted, 15 to 18 minutes total.
• While the bones roast, make the parsley topping. Whisk the oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt together in a medium bowl. Add the parsley leaves, celery leaves, celery stalk, lemon peel, shallot, garlic, and capers and toss to combine.
• When the bones are finished, immediately dose about a third of the parsley mixture over the marrow and wait 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer to a platter and serve with the toast, flaky salt, and remaining parsley mixture.

Steps:

• If you want to make your own, scare up some marrow bones at a butcher shop, place them upright on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast at 450 for 15 minutes. Scoop out the marrow, spread it on toast and top with sea salt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap the bones individually in a double thickness of cheesecloth, then in foil. Place in a roasting pan, and bake for 30 minutes.
• While the bones are baking, combine the shallots and wine in a small nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a simmer, and cook until almost all the wine has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Allow the roasted bones to cool until they can be handled. Remove the marrow, and discard the bones. Finely chop the marrow, and place in a mixing bowl. Add the shallot mixture, parsley, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut twelve slices, 1/2-inch thick, from the baguette. Toast until golden brown. Mound the marrow mixture on the toasts, and serve as an hors doeuvre. The marrow mixture may also be served without toast as a topping for filet mignon or grilled fish.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put bones, cut side up, on foil-lined baking sheet or in ovenproof skillet. Cook until marrow is soft and has begun to separate from the bone, about 15 minutes. (Stop before marrow begins to drizzle out.)
• Meanwhile, combine parsley, shallots and capers in small bowl. Just before bones are ready, whisk together olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle dressing over parsley mixture until leaves are just coated. Put roasted bones, parsley salad, salt and toast on a large plate. To serve, scoop out marrow, spread on toast, sprinkle with salt and top with parsley salad.
