Bone Marrow Mash
Chuck Hughes adds bone marrow to classic mashed potatoes – and the result is deliciously amazing.
“Trust your butcher. It’s one of the first things I was taught and a great rule to live by in the restaurant world… I’m a seafood lover, but if a solid steak, beautiful sausages, or gorgeous lamb chops don’t get you salivating I feel sorry for you. I’ve known my butchers for years… I worked at their sausage shop when I was a teenager! I’ve been meaning to catch up with these guys for years, and today’s the day.”
