Blog reader Gwen from Botswana has sent me a number of Banting recipes and this is one I tried out with great success! It’s just so easy.
Ingredients
- Baby marrows
- Onions, red and green peppers and any other vegetables of your choice
- Tin of tomato, onion and garlic
- Cheddar cheese grated
- Feta cheese
Method
It will work well with a decent size marrow and use one per person. I couldn’t find big baby marrows, so used the regular courgettes.
Start by cutting them in half long ways…
Then, using a sharp knife, carefully slice out the flesh in the middle…
Put the inner flesh to one size and line the courgettes in an oven proof dish…
Roughly chop the marrow flesh and add it to any other vegetables of your choice. I mainly used onion, peppers, which you want to stir fry until the onions are transparent…
Then add some beef/ostrich mince….
And brown that until all the pink has gone.
Add a tin of tomato, onion and garlic mix…
Give it a good mix, then season with salt and pepper…
Spoon the mixture over the marrow halves…
Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the top as well as a little crumbled feta…
…and it’s ready for the oven. You want to bake it in an oven preheated to 180C for 20 minutes. The cheese must be lovely and melted and the marrows tender….
Dinner is served!
Just a different way to use mince!
Enjoy!
Okay, we need a sweet morsel from the Bible, with which to wash this down…how about…
1 John 4:16
“So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us”.
Yip.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you!
In His Grip!
