Roasted marrow with wild mushrooms and walnuts

Gratifyingly savoury and comfortingly earthy, this marrow-and-mushroom creation is even more delicious when paired with The Motorcycle Marvel, a dark and intense Rhône-style blend. A squeeze of lime lifts the meaty-umami-toastiness with a citrus kick.

Serves: 4

bone marrow

Nederburg

wild mushrooms

Ingredients

1kg beef bone marrow, soaked in salted water

2 Tbsp olive oil

Sea salt flakes and coarse black pepper, to taste

6 sprigs thyme

For the wild mushrooms

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp butter

150g mixed exotic mushrooms, torn roughly

50g raw walnuts

To serve

Lime wedges

6 pieces (½cm thick) ciabatta toast

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Drain bone marrow and pat dry with paper towel. Use a boning knife to remove as much sinew from the bones as possible. Place on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle thyme sprigs on top. Roast for about 12 minutes.

For the mushrooms, heat a frying pan until hot. Add oil and butter, then brown the mushrooms for about two minutes, taking care not to stir the pan too much.

In a small baking tray, toast walnuts in the oven for about 3 minutes.

Arrange bone marrows on a board, sprinkle mushrooms and walnuts over, and serve with lime wedges and ciabatta toast.
