OVEN ROASTED MARROW

1. Fresh from my neighbour`s  vegetable garden.......

2.Trim ends of marrow and slice in half length ways and remove seeds.

3. I  then stuffed one cavity generously with a black bean ,tomato , fennel and kumara  ( sweet potato ) mix that had been marinated in white wine vinegar ( 24 hours ) .

4. Sprinkled ground cumin over the remaining half of the marrow and then securely place over the filled half  and prick surface with skewer.

5. Placed the marrow in a baking dish and cover with foil and place in a preheated oven ( 180  deg C ) for 90 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the marrow goes in and comes out easily .

6.Remove from oven and allow to cool , then place in refrigerator until ready use , at which point return covered marrow to oven to heat through 45mins in a preheated oven on 160deg C.
Remove from oven , uncover and slice as required .
