Hmm tasty, we do have a book titled "a glut of courgettes & marrows"
which has some nice recipe, but that sounds nice!

A neighbour has given us a Marrow :-))

Suggestions for serving please.


Savoury marrow ring

1 medium sized marrow
25 g walnuts
75g grated cheese
pinch nutmeg
3 tbsp bread crumbs

2 hard boiled eggs
salt & pepper



Instructions

1. Peel the marrow, cut into rings about one and a half inches thick

and fill the rings.

3. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese, a light sprinkle of nutmeg,
season and bake at 190C (375F, gas 5) for about 20 minutes

Marrow Pie.
Grate as much bread as will fill a large breakfast-cup
quite full. Put it into a jug and pour nearly a quart of
boiling sweet milk or thin cream over it, and let it swell
and soak while you shred half a pound of marrow or suet,
and beat up four large or six small eggs. Have two ounces
of raisins stoned, and two ounces of currants plumped.
Sweeten the pudding to taste, and season it with a very
little grated nutmeg and a teaspoonful of cinnamon in
powder. Cover a stoneware flat dish on the edge with
stripes of puff-paste, and mark neatly as leaves. Bake the
pie in this dish, or plainly in a deep dish.
