Instructions

  1. If the marrow bones are still bloody, place them in cold water for up to 3 hours to remove the blood.
  2. Press the marrow out of the bones with your fingers and place in water with a dash of vinegar.
  3. Cut the shallots and the garlic into fine slices with the red wine in a saucepan, season with salt and pepper and cook for 1.5 hours, then puree, season to taste and mix in the butter.
  4. Preheat the oven to 240 ° C.
  5. Place three marrow bones on a fire-proof plate, fill with the shallot puree, then place 4 snails on top and cover the whole thing with the marrow. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and season with pepper from the mill. Gratinate in the oven for 10 minutes.
  6. Serve with the flat-leaf parsley.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
