The inspiration

Friday 30 August 2013

Today I realised I had a pack of Light Mozzarella that needed using up. I decided to do a stuffed marrow. This is how I did it. I've propointed it for the WW amongst us.


Stuffed Marrow

Serves 3
5 propoints per serving

1 marrow
250g extra lean minced beef
1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic crushed
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp chilli flakes (or to taste)
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 beef oxo
125g Mozzarella light

Cut marrow in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and discard. Set aside.

Heat the oven to 200'C Gas 6

Dry fry the mince in a non-stick pan and once browned, add the onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens. Add the tomatoes, oregano, cumin, chilli flakes, tomato puree and crumbled oxo. Simmer for approx 10 mins until the mixture is dryish and thick.

Spoon the mince mixture into the marrow and place in a roasting tin with a little water around it. Cover with foil and bake until the marrow is tender, approx 30-40 mins.

Remove foil and cover the top with the mozzarella......either sliced or pulled off into pieces. Return to the oven and cook a few more minutes to melt the cheese.

Serve.

Using butternut or other squashes, or courgettes or even aubergines, will not affect the propoints.

Add kidney beans to make it more like a chilli, but add the extra propoints.
