Marrows

[marton]

Does anyone have any recipes for marrows, stuffed or otherwise?

Here's one my family love:

I marrow (not striped)
3/4 lb sausage meat
1 egg
small packet paxo

Peel marrow and cut ends off

Slice lengthways and scoop out seeds and pulp with a spoon

In a bowl put sausagemeat, fork it and mix in a beaten egg.

Make up packet of paxo with water to normal consistency & mix with sausage and egg. Mix it thoroughly.

Fill the marrow with the mixture and wrap it in foil tightly. Tie up with string to keep it firm. Cook in medium oven for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

Sorry Guys,

No disrespect,but a marrow has to qualify (I think) as the premier "N0N" Vegetable.

My Mother used to cook them stuffed with Savoury Mince,I am retching just thinking about it! They are just water in a green jacket.LOL

Use as a vegetable dice then saute in butter and mixed herbs to taste fresh or dried can be used .Courgettes can be cooked this way but sliced instead of diced, enjoy.

Cut off the end of the marrow and stick your arm in to scoop out as much of the inside as you can. Mix cooked minced beef and onion (with oxo or similar), italian herbs, garlic, chopped tomatoes and tomato puree. Stuff the mixture tightly into the marrow then replace the lid (I didn't say to save that did I?). Wrap the whole caboodle in foil, place in a roasting tin - or thereabouts it makes much juice and put in a moderate oven 150 degrees until the marrow is soft. Enjoy.

Alternatively make marrow rum (delicious and I don't like rum)

Cut the top off a marrow and save. scoop out the insides then stuff in layers of raisins and demerera sugar, replace the lid (make sure the layers are really tightly packed). Put the whole marrow inside the leg of a CLEAN tight leg or stocking and tie. Suspend the mixture over a bucket to catch the liqor, encase the whole thing inside a clean plastic bag - black bin liner or similar. When the marrow has finished producing liquor (2-3 weeks) place liquor into a very clean container, add about 1oz of brewers yeast and leave to ferment (bubble). When the mixture has stopped fizzing strain into clean bottles, seal and enjoy about 6 months later.

A bit long winded I know but it really is a lovely way to enjoy an excess marrow!

My curiosity was piqued, I was wondering what possible recipes there could be for bone marrow.

D'oh!  It's a squash.  That danged separated by a common language thing again....

[ceebee007]

Fry some chopped onion and garlic  Add a few mushrooms.  Add tomatoes (tinned or fresh).  Simmer gently.  Add some oregano and/or basil.  (You could even add some chopped red or yellow pepper).

Slice marrow lenthways.  Scoop out seeds.  Put sauce mixture in marrow and grate cheese on top.

Bake in oven.  (You may have to slice bottom of marrow to make it sit level).
