I made some rice and chickpeas as a stuffing for marrow but made too much so had it for lunch. With some more vegetables added, the rice would make a delicious meal on it’s own.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1 marrow, halved and the centre (with the seeds) removed
- 1 onion, diced
- 6 sundried tomatoes, soaked and chopped
- 4 portions of frozen spinach
- a few mushrooms, sliced
- handful of sultanas
- 1 tin chickpeas, drained
- 1 – 2 teaspoon curry powder or garam masala
- rapeseed oil
- rice for 4 people, rinsed
- salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Put the marrow on a baking tray and bake the marrow in the oven until soft.
Boil the rice in salted water.
Meanwhile sauté the vegetables in the oil. When they’re soft, add the chickpeas a curry powder or garam masala and mix through the vegetables.
When cooked, drain the rice and add the chickpeas and vegetables. Season to taste.
Put the rice and vegetables into the centre of the marrow and return to the oven for a few more minutes.
Enjoy!
