Hi everyone.

Please help....

My friend gave me a marrow and I don't know what to do with it. I'm sure somone will know of a nice recipe, I want to cook it with the kids at the weekend... Thanks in advance, 

Hmmmmmmm - probably the best thing to do with kids! - roast them!

 

Sorry........couldn't resist.....

 

Cut it in half and scoop out the seeds or cut thick slices and scoop the seeds out - fill with either a cheesy/tomatoey vegetable rice mix or a mince and onions type filling and roast until the marrow is soft and cooked.

As Lesley said fill it with a bolognese type filling, grate cheese on the top and pop in oven (you might need to add cheese after a while as you need the marrow to get really soft)

I made 'marrow butter' yesterday and then made a marrow pie with it today, check out these 2 photos....will let you know how the pie tastes later but the marrow butter is yummy!
