Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion, garlic and 2 tsp of the herbs for 3 mins until starting to soften. Add the turkey and brown all over, then tip in the tomatoes and cook for 5 mins more.
  2. Scoop out the middle of the marrow and discard (or fry, then freeze for another time - try it mashed with potato). Arrange the slices in a baking dish. Spoon the mince into the middle of each marrow slice, then spoon the rest over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 mins.
  3. Meanwhile, mix remaining herbs with the breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Remove the marrow from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle over the crumbs. Return to the oven for 10 mins more until crumbs are golden and crisp and marrow is tender.

    Fantastic! I adapted slightly by using mostly veggies for my stuffing (tomatoes, peppers, onions, mushrooms with a little pancetta and cous cous.) After baking, I sprinkled with parmesan to get a crusty top. Served with spicy potato wedges - Delicious!

    I have just been given a 22" x 9lb marrow - sounds like this recipe will fit the bill perfectly - exchanging turkey for minced lamb - will let you all know the end result - thanks

    This recipe will come in handy as I have about 30 marrows due to over endulgence when growing courgette plants. I might and some feta cheese too for extra flavour.

    Frannylou it would be better not to peel the marrow as it could colapse during cooking..........you dont have to eat it though.

    I often make stuffed marrow (because I forget to go and check the courgettes in the garden until they have swelled to monster proportions!) Medium-sized marrows I usually slice in half lengthways though, forming two "boats" to hold the stuffing. I add a little rice or couscous to the mix to make it lighter in texture. Also, I parboil or steam the marrow for about five minutes - this cuts down on the baking time so that the stuffing doesn't dry out. I find the stuffing particularly delicious made with minced lamb. (I have even on occasion simply mixed leftover spaghetti suce with rice and herbs and used that. No-one thinks I'm using up leftovers!)

    I was given a huge marrow and tried this receipe using pork mince. Added a lot of fresh sage, thyme and corriander - loads left over and tasted even better the next day.

    Was given a marrow in exchange for weeding on my friends allotment! Had lamb mince in freezer so used this and added a bit of jerk BBQ sauce to give a bit of bite. Substituted Parmesan for cheddar as this is all I had in the fridge and it was all good. Very tasty supper

    Used giant courgette and sausage meat which was what I had in. Worked really well cooking it in slices.

    Very good for you and tasty - tho I did add a stock cube & some tomato paste for more flavour... And i really don't think this would serve 6,not a chance! (Unless you're having rice/bread etc with it)
