WBN Unofficial Cookbook Club: Suvi's Bone Marrow Sandwich
🕑 Added 2023-12-15 20:00:57 +0000 UTCHi again from the WBN social media manager! I'm excited to share with you all my next creation for the WBN Unofficial Cookbook Club.
I had to make Suvi's favorite bone marrow sandwich from Ep. 16; the description of its taste and textures sounded unlike anything I had ever tried before. Learning on the Ep. 16 Fireside Chat that Aabria basically invented this sandwich during a holiday trip made it extra special.
I bought the beef bones at my local supermarket, drizzled a little oil and a light sprinkling of salt on the surface of the bones, and then roasted them in the oven at 450°F / 232°C for about 20 minutes. Once the tops of the bones were browned, I took them out of the oven, scooped out the marrow as best as I could into a smaller bowl, and seasoned the marrow with a dash of savory salt, some cracked black pepper, and a dash of crushed red chile flakes.
Melon can be hit or miss for me, so I opted to sub in some fuyu persimmons instead. It's currently persimmon season, so I had a bunch on my counter ready for use. If you want to try this at home for yourself, make sure you get fuyu persimmons instead of hachiya! They have vastly different ripening processes and textures. I peeled and sliced the fuyu persimmons lengthwise, both so that I could see the gorgeous sand-dollar-like pattern on the inside of the fruit, and because the surface area of the slice would fit better on the area of the bread.
To assemble the sandwich, I sliced a store-bought baguette open and spread the seasoned bone marrow onto the top and bottom of the baguette. I considered toasting the baguette, but I enjoyed the softer texture of the bread as it was. I layered the persimmon slices across the marrow spread, and then loosely folded some store-bought prosciutto on top of the persimmon. Closed the sandwich, cut it in half, took a bite, and immediately understood everything Aabria was raving about. Dang.

Honestly the number of times Juk came up during the children's adventure made me literally stand up in the middle of an episode to make it. It was so good > < I used this recipe for the juk https://www.koreanbapsang.com/dakjuk-korean-chicken-porridge/ and I think this one for the marinated eggs https://tiffycooks.com/korean-marinated-eggs-mayak-gyeran-easy/

It is the goopier parts. The ham is the prosciutto slices.

I'd love to see someone try to veganize it.
