Who Loves Bone Marrow?
I will be honest: I know a fair number of people don’t really like it: whether it’s the texture – a “meat custard” vibe – or simply the concept of eating what’s inside a hard bone, it’s a polarizing ingredient – but it shouldn’t be, because it’s deliciously healthy!
The Health Benefits Of Bone Marrow!
I try to eat healthy, and that’s why bone marrow is on my list!
“Eating bone marrow can offer several health benefits due to its rich content of essential nutrients, healthy fats, and beneficial compounds like collagen. These benefits primarily revolve around supporting joint, immune, and skin health, as well as providing energy.”
Why am I telling you this? Because Chef Mimi shared an incredible recipe I have to try!
Chef Mimi shared this photo of a terrific bone marrow risotto dish and I am hooked!
She shows step-by-step directions on how to work with this unique ingredient as well:
I plan to make this for my wife next week, but you don’t need to wait: head over to the Chef Miimi blog and see for yourself – just click on the graphic below!
I love reading Chef’s blog because she has so many unique recipes, always with insightful stories as well….and in fact, the timing of her post was perfect because just last night I had a unique bone marrow dish!
I shot this video as my wife Alex attempted to remove roasted bone marrow and top our bowl of pasta with it – it was proving a funny challenge so our friend Lena took over!
Success!
This dish was incredibly flavorful as the bone marrow really adds a creamy and savory flavor to the buttered noodles…and remember I cooked once with bone marrow in a very different way – my wife Alex filmed me trying to extract it from the bone:
That was just day one of a three day process to make a Sous Vide Lobster dish from famed Chef Thomas Keller – see how it all turned out here!
And I cooked another unique pasta dish once – with Oysters and Caviar!
See that recipe here!
I love making wild food like this – unique mashups that are delicious and yes, unique to be sure! And Oysters are also saving the world!
Yes, Oysters are helping rebuild the world! See that story here:
Of course, for some like me, there is the perfect way to enjoy an Oyster – so I did – check it out – it’s a “Moonshine Whiskey Oyster Shooter” at New York’s famous Union Square Farmer’s Market!
Thanks to Chef Mimi for a great looking recipe that I will be making!

Thanks, John! I wish bone marrow out of the bone was more photogenic! But once you know it and love it, it’s a beautiful sight! I really want to try pasta with marrow!
