Have You Ever Tried Immune Boosting Bone Marrow?

Some people turn up their nose when I mention eating bone marrow! Then, they begin to describe it as an awful, rubbery, discolored substance, they cannot imagine the thoughts of consuming. Well, with that kind of description, I can't imagine eating it myself! But, that description is typical of grain fed beef marrow, which can be significantly different from the marrow in bones from pasture fed beef.

Marrow from pasture fed beef is really quite different...

Buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture, with a delicious, and satisfying flavor that just can't be compared to any thing else.  One of those surprisingly delicious super foods, for sure!  Wondering what it can do for you?  After all, your food should work for you, shouldn't it? 

Immune booster, bursting with collagen and other vital nutrients...

What makes this food so special, is that bones are simple to obtain and have such wonderful healing properties. The prepared broth or marrow have benefits ranging from healing leaky gut, to preventing bone loss and promoting healthy hair, teeth and nails. These nutrients also reduce inflammation and that's just the tip of the ice berg.

So, next time you make bone broth, don't forget to scoop the marrow out of the bones and stir in that buttery goodness! And yes! You can use Osso Bucco sliced shank for bone broth, too.

Now let's make an amazing treat!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

•  1.5 lbs Osso Bucco Style Shank -~Pasture Fed (4 to 5 )
• 4 Cloves Garlic

• 1 tsp. Cayenne Pepper (can use less if desired)
• 2 tsp. Mustard Powder
• 1 tsp. Sea Salt

• 6-8 Fresh Sage Leaves, Chopped
• 1/4 C Fresh Oregano Leaves, Lightly Chopped

Cook garlic, onion and celery in 3 tablespoons olive oil for 2 minutes.

Add tomato, water, vinegar, broth, mustard, salt, pepper, sage and oregano. Simmer 5 minutes.
