Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Finely slice 1 shallot very thin and set aside.

Step 2

Finely grate ¼ tsp of fresh ginger and set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, heat 1 tsp of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the saucepan and mix well to incorporate.

Step 5

Add the shallots and stir until softened, approximately 1 minute.

Step 6

When the brown sugar has melted and is starting to bubble, add ⅓ cup of white wine vinegar.

Step 7

Add 2 tbsp of golden raisins to the saucepan and continue to stir occasionally.

Step 8

While the vinegar is reducing, peel and finely dice ½ of a pear and add to the saucepan.

Step 9

Add ¼ tsp of salt and continue to stir occasionally until almost all of the mixture has evaporated, then remove from heat.

Step 10

Stir the ginger into the mixture and let cool.

Step 11

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 12

Place 6 marrow bones on a baking sheet.

Step 13

Form crinkled aluminum foil between the marrow bones to ensure that they are stabilized and won’t tip over.

Step 14

Heavily season the marrow bones with salt and fresh ground black pepper.

Step 15

When the oven has heated, roast the marrow bones until the top of the marrow starts to bubble.  Approximately 15 minutes.

Step 16

While the marrow bones are roasting, clean and finely chop a small handful of parsley.  Set aside.

Step 17

When the marrow bones have finished roasting, remove from the oven and plate immediately.

Step 18

Serve the marrow on toasted baguette slices, top with the Ginger Pear Agrodolce and garnish with parsley.
