Method
step 1
Heat the BBQ and allow the flames to die down and the coals to turn white. Season the bone marrow, put it cut-side down on the BBQ for 8-10 minutes, or cut-side up in a 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 oven for 6-15 minutes (depending on thickness) until the marrow is beginning to melt and is crisp and golden on the edges.
step 2
Scrape half of the hot marrow on the grilled bread, top with a thick slice of tomato, then with the rest of the marrow. Season with salt, a scattering of parsley and a pinch of pollen.
