1. Halve the marrow lengthways and scoop out the seeds.

2. Lay each half side by side, in a well greased, large, shallow casserole.

3. Skin and chop the onion finely or grate it. Put into a basin with the beef, sausage-meat, if used, breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoning. Mix well.

4. Beat the egg until liquid and use it to bind the mixture.

5. Divide the stuffing between each marrow half. Cover the dish and bake in a moderate oven, 180°C, Gas 4, for 1 hour.

6. Strain off most of the liquid in the casserole.

7. Pour the cheese sauce over the marrow and bake for a further 20 minutes, uncovered, or until the sauce is golden-brown.

Had a marrow to use up. posted by natalie savage @ 11:09AM, 7/27/07 I have never tried marrow before, so i thought i would give it a go. The stuffed marrow was lovely and looked very fancy, ideal for dinner party. I just used beef mince not sausage meat. Curious.... posted by Becky @ 07:09AM, 8/04/07 I have a marrow here waiting for the chop... will try with lamb mince as I dont eat pork or beef mince.... will give it a go but will have a piece of fish on standby for my 7 year old! (fingers crossed) A Tip posted by Kate @ 08:11AM, 8/07/07 I would cover the marrows with tinfoil so the meat doesn't burn and the marrow dry out. That's what I did, because that is what was happening! Excellent help! posted by Chris @ 09:53AM, 8/25/07 I'm going to be trying this with a homegrown marrow ??? Marrow Skin posted by Katie @ 09:57AM, 8/29/07 Silly question... but do you eat the skin of the marrow, or just scoop out the flesh and filling, when it comes to eating it?! Answer: It is edible but it's a bit too rough and fiberous. just eat the filling Cracking Idea posted by Tris & Laura @ 03:44PM, 3/27/08 We've cooked this several times, it has now become a favourite :) very nice, but definately take the advise with the tin foil, but remove it for the last half hour or so Heading: Comments: Name:
