Best Bone Marrow Panna Cotta Recipes

ROASTED BONE MARROW WITH PARSLEY TOPPING

Steps:

• Fill a large 4- to 6-quart container with 6 cups cold water and whisk in 2 tablespoons of the kosher salt to dissolve. Add the marrow bones, cut-side down, and top with the ice. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a rack in the center position.
• Drain the bones and pat dry with paper towels. You want the bones to cook as level as possible to minimize the loss of fat as it renders out, so place them cut-side down on a small sheet pan. Cover with a generous layer of aluminum foil, then use your hands to mold the foil around the bones and sides of the pans. Place a second pan on top of the foil, then flip the whole apparatus over. Remove the sheet pan that is now on top to reveal the bones, cut-side up, and nestled in foil. They should be pretty close to dead level.
• Roast the bones for 8 minutes, then rotate the pan and continue roasting until the bones have browned and the marrow is spreadable and soft, but not melted, 15 to 18 minutes total.
• While the bones roast, make the parsley topping. Whisk the oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt together in a medium bowl. Add the parsley leaves, celery leaves, celery stalk, lemon peel, shallot, garlic, and capers and toss to combine.
• When the bones are finished, immediately dose about a third of the parsley mixture over the marrow and wait 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer to a platter and serve with the toast, flaky salt, and remaining parsley mixture.

PANNA COTTA BRAIN WITH CRANBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine 1 can of evaporated milk with four packages gelatin and bloom for five minutes.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the remaining milk and heavy cream to a boil. Stir in the sugar, vanilla bean, salt, and bourbon (optional). Combine this mixture with the gelatin mixture and stir until all solids have dissolved. Remove the vanilla bean and pour the mixture into a six-cup brain mold. Refrigerate overnight to fully set.
• For the glaze, combine remaining gelatin with half a cup of cranberry juice. Bring remaining 1 1/2 cups of juice to a boil and stir into gelatin mixture to dissolve any solids. Pour into a squeeze bottle and leave at room temperature until panna cotta brain is set.
• Unmold the panna cotta and drizzle the glaze over it. The glaze will set up immediately.

RASPBERRY-ROSE PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Puree the raspberries in a food processor until completely smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, discarding the solids. Add the gelatin to the raspberry puree and stir; set aside to bloom for at least 7 minutes.
• Combine the raspberry-gelatin mixture, heavy cream and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until the sugar has dissolved completely, about 5 minutes. (Do not use a whisk.) Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing it through with a rubber spatula. Stir in the lemon juice.
• Place two 6-cavity silicone rose molds (about 2 3/4 by 1 1/2 inches per cavity) on a baking sheet. Pour the custard into the cavities, filling them to the top. Cover and freeze overnight.
• Sprinkle a few rose petals on each plate. Unmold the frozen panna cottas onto the plates, then let thaw completely before serving.

SANGRIA PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Remove a wide, 2-inch-long strip of zest from 1 orange with a paring knife. Finely grate the zest of the other orange and set aside. Peel and segment both oranges, cover and refrigerate.
• Combine the wine, 5 tablespoons sugar, the honey, cinnamon stick and orange zest strip in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 40 minutes. Discard the cinnamon and zest and cool the wine reduction completely. Set aside 1/2 cup for serving.
• Combine the milk with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium saucepan. Sprinkle in the gelatin and let stand, undisturbed,
• until the gelatin softens, about 4 minutes. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the gelatin and sugar are just dissolved (do not boil); let cool. Whisk in 1 cup of the wine reduction, the grated orange zest and yogurt until smooth. Pour into six 6-ounce ramekins or jars, cover and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, core and finely dice the apple, then toss with the reserved orange segments. Dip the bottom of each ramekin in warm water to loosen. Invert each panna cotta onto a plate, drizzle with the reserved wine reduction and top with the fruit.

ROASTED MARROW BONES

Steps:

• If you want to make your own, scare up some marrow bones at a butcher shop, place them upright on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast at 450 for 15 minutes. Scoop out the marrow, spread it on toast and top with sea salt.
