Stuffed Marrows

Recently I was given a load of marrows/courgettes from a neighbour of Paddy's Mam and Dad. So I stuffed them. I served these with a salad and they're a great Vegetarian alternative! I made two large stuffed marrows, but one is enough for two people. You can really use any other vegetables to stuff this too - or meats if you like! Added Chorizo would be nice.

Ingredients:

1-2 Marrows

1 punnet of Mushrooms, roughly chopped

1 Green Pepper and 1 Yellow, roughly chopped

Handful of Cherry Tomatoes, roughly chopped

5 or more cloves of garlic, finely chopped/crushed

Red and Green Chillies (optional) finely chopped

Splash of White Wine

Squeeze of Tomato Puree

Breadcrumbs

A cheese of your choice (I used Mature Cheddar)

Salt and Pepper (to season)

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Heat Olive Oil in a large pan.
2. Slice marrow in half and scoop out the inside, leaving a thin layer around the sides. Chop the insides into bite-size chunks.
3. Add garlic and chilli to pan and fry for a minute or two, add all the remaining veg - including the insides of the marrow - and stir fry until cooked/softened.
4. Add wine and tomato puree, season and stir.
5. Put veg mixture into marrow halves. Sprinkle breadcrumbs and cheese over the top and drizzle oil over the top. bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until breadcrumbs turn golden in colour. Serve either whole or sliced!
