Bolognese-Stuffed Marrow
Report
Stuffed Marrow with a delicious bolognese sauce made with beef mince and veggies, and topped with cheesy bechamel sauce, a delightfully low-carb dinner. Very easy to make with simple ingredients, this is a dish after my own heart.

Instructions
- Quarter the marrow, and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving about a cm on the edges.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over, arrange on a baking tray and bake at 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit) for 30 minutes until nearly tender.
- To make the bolognese sauce, heat up the oil in a cooking pan, add the peeled and chopped onion, and fry until golden.
- Add the ground beef, and use a wooden spoon to break it into pieces until no longer pink.
- Add the peeled and chopped garlic and carrots, bay leaves, stock and chopped tomatoes.
- Cover the pan with a lid, and leave to cook until the liquid is reduced, and we have a sauce, that could take 20 minutes or so.
- Add the tomato puree, season with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
- Stuff the cooked marrow quarters.
- To make the bechamel sauce, melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and whisk.
- Pour in the milk, and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens.
- Add the dijon mustard, ground black pepper and grated cheeses.
- Whisk to get a thick sauce.
- Pour the sauce on top of the bolognese.
- Bake for a further 10-15 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) until golden.
- Garnish with fresh parsley - optional.
Notes
- The same recipe would work with courgettes - although the cooking time will be less, given their size, or any other squash.
- For a keto version, replace it with corn flour (cornstarch) and problem solved.
