Ingredients

1 pound beef bone with marrow

9 tablespoons olive oil

2 1/2 pounds tomatoes on the vine, halved 

Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 to 5 sprigs fresh parsley

3 cloves garlic, minced 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Put the beef bone on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of the olive oil on a separate rimmed baking sheet. Add the tomatoes cut-side down in a single layer. Drizzle the tops of the tomatoes with an additional 3 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and add the parsley. Roast until tender, 25 to 40 minutes. Transfer the tomatoes and parsley to a blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Heat a large stockpot on high heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. DO NOT let the garlic burn. Add the reserved tomato puree and bone to the pot. Simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Season with additional salt and pepper.
