Marrow Bone Stew (marrow bone stew)

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large casserole and quickly brown the marrow bones on all sides, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the sliced onion and crushed garlic and fry for 3 minutes until translucent.
3. Pour in the cold water, add the bay leaf, thyme and a few peppercorns, then bring to the boil.
4. Skim the surface during the first few minutes, then lower the heat and let it simmer, covered, for 1 hour 30.
5. Peel the carrots and potatoes, cut them into large chunks and add them to the pot.
6. Continue cooking at a gentle simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the meat comes away from the bone.
7. Adjust the seasoning, remove the bay leaf and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
8. Serve hot in deep bowls, with the bones on the side so everyone can scoop out the marrow and spread it on the bread.
