    I don’t have an allotment but I have won a huge box of veg in a raffle which included 2 marrows!

    Made this today and served as a side with lamb – it was very tasty.

    Made a couple of tweaks – mixed some crumbled stilton in with the chedder as well as a some breadcrumbs from a seeded loaf to add texture.

    Harvested my first marrow from my newly aquired allotment yesterday and decided to give this recipe a try. The whole family enjoyed it which was a very motivating experience – they are not known for being diplomatic!
    PS will be trying Netty’s suggested tweaks to the recipe next time.

  3. I ” adore” marrow ( funny woman) & in & after the ” war” my dad baked marrow with any veg we had ” ie” lots of onions ( he sauted them first in butter? ) & my very favorite is with lots of cheese over the top! I add stale crumbled breadcrumbs to the cheese & back in to the oven , untill all golden & bubbling. I add fresh herbs too these days in with the onions ( they would burn if on top! )
    Thank you for a wonderful memory ( & reminder to make this again & again. )

    The family have all asked for seconds after all saying that they don’t like marrow, and have been asked to make some more soon.

    Have made this twice – I love it. I also use breadcrumbs with the grated cheese. Any left overs I take to work and heat up for lunch.
