Online grocery shopping recently is giving me access to all these special ingredients from suppliers who used to provide exclusively to restaurants only and I'm loving it. This time I scored some lovely bone marrow cut lengthways as well as some beautiful mixed radish and watermelon radish. This dish is inspired by an entree at the restaurant Dinner by Heston Blumenthal. It's so simple yet so delicious, enjoyed it with a thin slice of toast and nice glass of white!
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients
Roast Bone Marrow
- 4 marrow bones
- 6 tbsp panko crumbs*
- salt
- pepper
- 1 tbsp oil
* I didn't have parsley on hand, if you do, do half Panko crumbs and half parsley for a bit of freshness.
Radish Salad
- 5 mixed colour radish halved
- 1/2 baby fennel thinly sliced using mandolin
- 1 watermelon radish thinly sliced using mandolin
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp white vine vinegar
- 4 tbsp oil
- salt
- pepper
Garnish
- fennel frond
- micro red garnet
To Serve
- slices of your favourite toast (preferably thin sour dough)
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
2. Clean the outside of the bone marrow thoroughly by scraping off any residual meat with a sharp knife. Coat well with oil. In a separate bowl, season the Panko crumbs well with oil, salt and pepper (include parsley as well if you have it). Cover the exposed marrow with the Panko mixture and put it on a baking tray. Put it in the oven and bake for 8 minutes until it's cooked through. You can check if the marrow is cooked by sticking a metal skewer into it, it should be easy to pierce through without resistance. Leave it for few minutes longer if required.
3. Make the salad dressing by mixing the mustard, honey, white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix it well until it's fully emulsified. Add the radish, fennel and watermelon radish and mix well.
4. Assemble by putting a piece of marrow on the plate, garnish with fennel frond and micro red garnet. Serve hot with the freshly dressed radish and fennel salad and sliced toast. Enjoy!
