Bones are inexpensive and can be found at any butcher shop (or use your own from home harvests.) It’s rich, warm, salty, buttery, and chock-full of health-promoting collagen and micronutrients that our bodies need. It tastes delicious spread like butter across warm, crispy toast, but the most satisfying way to enjoy it is straight up, on its own.
Don’t forget to save the bones once you’re done to make that yummy broth, found here.
