Marrow Minded?

Posted by Jordans Cereals 08 Sep 2008 1:01pm

Does anyone have a good marrow recipe? In my Riverford veggie box this week I received a huge marrow and I simply have no idea what to do with it. We get some great recipes sent in to the website so I thought I would ask Jordans lovers if they can think of something I can do with my marrow. I have worrying memories of pushing watery stuffed marrow around my plate as a child with no enthusiasm to eat it. Yet I hate throwing food away and am determined to find a way to use the marrow up. So if anyone has any tasty marrow recipes then please send them in.

    Easiest way to deal with marrow is to peel and deseed, cut into chunks, boil in water for a few minutes, drain thoroughly and pour in a small jar of tomato sauce, re-heat and serve. I like the "Seeds of Change" tomato sauces.

    Try Marrow Rum, it's wonderful, slice off the stalk top of the marrow,scoop out the seeds, pack the marrow with demerara sugar pour in some activated wine yeast and the juice of one orange, put the top back on and seal it with some sticky tape, put the marrow into a muslin bag and hang it up, (we stand it on a large bowl to support it) after 3 weeks it should start to go mushy at the base, cut through the base and let the liquid go into a sterilised demijohn, insert an airlock and allow the liquid to ferment to a finish in a warm place, bottle the "rum" the longer you leave it the better it is.

    I cut the marrow in rounds, scoop out the seeds, ( save some to dry for planting, so you have more marrows the next season). Fill each round with sausage meat and bake in oven. Delicious.

    Hi, When I was a kid my mum used to make marrow and ginger jam. To me that's the only acceptable way to deal with it - cover it up with another flavour! We also used to have the mince packed inside and roasted but it was still watery!
