I don't plan on having an extended relationship with the marrow but I don't want to end our friendship with the marrow and I still un-united so today I cooked some more of it. I cooked a slice (peeled and deseeded) with my lunchtime pork chop, rather like Mother would cook some with the Sunday roast. It was OK. I had a sense of virtue on not wasting it but it would never be at the top of my personal hit parade.
Yesterday I showed you a roasting tin filled with vegetables. It was peeled and deseeded marrow, chopped and chunked potatoes and some sage from the garden along with some oil. I roasted them whilst my yesterday stuffed marrow was cooking then today I sweated an onion, fished out most of the sage and discarded it before I added he marrow and potato mixture to the onions to make marrow, potato and sage soup which sounded good but wasn't brilliant. I ate some and will eat it all but may experiment to add a little more flavour. However, I could add marrow to other vegetable combinations to get another fruit-and-veg-five-a-day. We shall see.
About two thirds of the marrow has now disappeared.
Looks good, what's in store for the last third😂😂
ReplyDeleteWell done.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of marrow.
ReplyDeleteLovely that you are not letting any go to waste.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
You are very good. I'm afraid I just cant bear marrow, something to do with the tastelessness, or the memory of marrow jam during the war maybe.
