Instructions
- In a pan large enough to take the other ingredients, melt the duck fat or butter and cook your onions. This time we want them to achieve a soft, sweet brownness (no burning—this is not a process you should rush; it will take up to 1 hour). Once achieved, add the cider and stock, bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. While this is happening, roast your marrowbones in a hot oven until the marrow is loose, not flowing out of the bones. Sprinkle the bread with olive oil and toast in the oven. Season the soup to taste.
- When the bones are ready, hold them with a tea towel, scoop out their delicious marrow and spread it on the crispy toast. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Serve the soup in deep soup bowls and top with the bone marrow toast. Finish off with a healthy topping of parsley, dropped in the dump-truck style (rather than sprinkled) onto the floating toast. Now eat.
