Ingredients
250g Minced beef
200g Chopped Tomatoes
1 Onion, diced
1 Carrot, diced or grated
4-5 button mushrooms
Sprinkle of mixed herbs
1 oxo cube
A single Bay leaf
1 Globe marrow
Handful of cheese (any kind, depending on your preference)
Splash of olive oil
Instructions
-
First cut the globe marrow in 2 and hollow out the seeds, you can either dry these out in the greenhouse or through them away, then pre-heat the oven to 180°C/Gas mark 4.
-
To make the bolognese, start frying off the onion, carrot, mushrooms with the olive oil on a medium heat until they’re soft and then add the beef, fry this off until all of the pink has gone.
-
Add the chopped tomatoes, herbs, bay leaf, oxo cube and anything else you’d think would add to the bolognese mixture. I think every household has their own preferred method of making a bolognese sauce, just go with what works for you. Simmer for around 10mins.
-
Pour the bolognese into the globe marrows and top off with a generous handful of cheese, bake in the oven for around 15 to 20 mins or until golden brown.
-
Serve with a salad and enjoy!
If you’ve also got fresh beef tomatoes, these can be a chopped up and blended and added to the globe marrow bolognese mix too.
Globe marrows are also great to use in a marrow and vegetable lasagne too.
