Making marrow butter ia an alternate method of enjoying roasted marrow bones. It’s an easier and more versatile way to use the marrow, because it doesn’t require trimming the bones and lasts longer when refrigerated. Spread it on crackers or toast, saute vegetables and mushrooms or pan sear a steak with it in lieu of regular butter.
If you are an adventurous eater and already know you like this delicacy, take a look at my marrow bones post.
It’s all in their head. The name and bones on a plate triggers their fight or flight response. To overcome this we make butter ahead of time, destroy all the evidence (the bones) and dispose of the trash. What’s left is a pretty little crock of fatty goodness that looks very similar to real butter, mixed with herbs and seasonings. Looks harmless right?
I don’t recommend misleading your guests. Fully disclose what this is, because it’s all about trust and you do want to remain friends. The marrow butter looks good and almost anyone will be willing to take a small taste. Once they commit to that, it’s game over and they will help you finish it off one toast point at a time.
