IMHO it's like a watery courgette.

ta eccles... hmmm i do like courgette but ive really got to fancy it. I kinda thought it might be like that
Love courgette, but marrow is just too large,it's watery and bland. I think it's often served stuffed for that reason. I'd avoid it.
How to best use a marrow ...

... cut in half lengthways, hollow out centre, fill with tasty stuffing, cook in oven, eat tasty stuffing, throw away marrow :)

thanks chelle, it was a stuffed marrow recipe i had seen but used the marrow...


lol dave.... ta for recipe might try it later :)
I have hellish memories of my mothers stuffed marrow and I've never come to terms with cooking and eating it as an adult.

If I was to find an overgrown courgette in the garden I might be tempted to cut in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds with a spoon and leave it upside down on some kitchen roll to draw out the moisture. While that is happening soften a small, finely chopped onion in some olive oil when softened add a finely chopped clove of garlic and some pinenuts; keep cooking until the pinenuts and garlic have a little colour. Leave to cool and add some fresh breadcrumbs, chopped mint and crumbled feta, season with pepper and a little salt.

Whack the marrow in a hot oven with a little oil drizzled over, after 10-15 mins top with cheesy onion mix, turn the heat down and wait until the topping is golden.

Then throw it in the bin and order a takeaway.
I like your thinking Dave ;-)
