Baked Marrow

September 28, 2010 By Caroline Taylor 2 Comments

What to do with quite a significant sized marrow, no time and a fridge full of food but nothing to eat. It was then that I remembered the very wise man who sold me the marrow in the first place. He recommended not to cut it down the middle and then stuff it as one might expect but to go about it as follows.

sliced marrow
Cut the marrow across rather than along into about 2 inch wedges. The kind gentleman advised to cut the skin off. I thought this was a very risky strategy and was quite nervous that it may fall apart if I did.

So I didn’t. I scooped out the seeds which was surprisingly easy and impossibly satisfying. Put the polo shaped marrow onto a baking tray (or spread out over several as I had to) and cover with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and some mint. Leave it to wallow in its own goodness for about 45 minutes at 180C.

While the marrow is becoming soft and delicious, get some beef mince frying. I like it to be quite crunchy as the marrow is so soft. Fry the mince in oil until it’s really brown and crispy with a little onion and garlic. Season it and then add a finely chopped chilli and some dill.

As gracefully as possible I spooned the mince into the middle of the marrow. It looked a little bland and forlorn so I mixed some tomatoes with oil, lemon juice and seasoning and threw them alongside to brighten it up.
A great piece of advice from the fellow at the market. I would never have made this if it wasn’t for him. It was really tasty and he was absolutely right. Take the skin off. When I make this again I am sure it won’t melt down into a marrow puddle in the oven and subsequently I won’t be left with parchment like bits of marrow skin on my plate. They would have been much happier in my compost bin.

  • And a very sunny good morning to you too. Lovely seeing the snowdrops coming out and the daffodils on their way. #snowdrops #sundaymorning #garden #springiscoming
  • Most of our furniture is rather old. The youngest piece in the living room (excluding sofa) is 1970s, the rest much older. I hate housework but I love using proper, traditional products when I am cleaning. This beeswax polish is just the best. Hard work but the smell is like stepping back in time. #housework #cleaning #polishing #boring #beeswax #proper #vintagefurniture #victorianhouse
  • As today will be spent cooking this is what's come out of the jar for tomorrow. You can't go wrong with tea, cake and a lovely long walk. 3.5 miles each way. #morning #lifeonabudget #allthatimeating #tulips #flowers #plansfortomorrow #weekendplans #daysout
  • Thank you for all your votes, ideas and suggestions for my dinner party menu. This is what I'll be cooking up tomorrow! I'm thinking a cooked then blended spinach salad rather than raw for the moussaka. #dinnermenu #dinnerparty #tomorrowsdinner #allthatimeating #menu #realfood
  • One more coat...just one more coat and hideous olive chimney breast is banished forever. My to-done list needs a little extra colouring in too. #decorating #itsallwhite #todonelist #painting #nomoregreenpaint #home
