- 3 lbs bone marrow
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
- 4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
Prepare
- 1 crusty bread, cut into ½- to ¾-inch-thick slices
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the smoker to 225°F using applewood or cherrywood.
-
Step 2.
In a small bowl, combine ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper.
-
Step 3.
Season each bone marrow canoe with 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with the salt and pepper mixture.
-
Step 4.
Place the bone marrow, marrow side up, in the smoker and smoke for 1 hour. The marrow will slightly liquify and small bubbles will appear around the sides; avoid smoking longer to prevent losing the liquid.
-
Step 5.
While the marrow is smoking, slice a loaf of crusty bread into ½- to ¾-inch-thick slices. When the marrow is nearly done, place the bread slices under the oven broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until toasted.
-
Step 6.
Remove the marrow from the smoker and serve immediately with the toasted bread. Serve directly from the canoes, cut side up. Using a small spoon or cheese knife, scoop out a small amount of marrow and spread it on a piece of toasted bread like jam.
