🥩 Key Ingredient Notes
It is always best to get your products from a reputable place which is why I I love and trust Wallace Farms because their products are free from antibiotics, hormones, and chemicals. Their products are of highest quality and when they say "grass-fed," "pasture-raised," and "fresh-air" that is the true core of who they are and what they offer.
Take note that the price of bone marrow will vary depending upon the quality of meat you buy. Grass-fed bones from healthy animals are better for your overall health but come at a premium price compared to grain-fed marrow bones. So shop around and read the label.
🔪 How To Make This Dish
- Step 1: Roast the marrow bones in the oven
- Step 2: Sprinkle some coarse salt and serve with Parsley Salad and a slice of warm crusty bread, voila! You're set! How easy is that?
