This simple stuffed marrow recipe is a real hit with the whole family. Even the marrow-hating children. Using sausages to create the filling makes this dish appealing to even the fussiest of eaters.

Sausage stuffed marrow...a firm favourite for even those marrow haters. Try it now...you won't regret it! The perfect recipe for a #FreeFromHarvest

The story behind this stuffed marrow recipe

When my friend gave me a marrow the size of a small tree trunk I felt a challenge coming on. Stuffed marrow for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Mr M, Roo and Sunshine are not fans of courgette let alone marrow. But never one to be defeated I set about dutifully trying to create something that would be acceptable to them.

The first recipe I created was for marrow fritters. Amazingly everyone loved them…except me.

Then one afternoon, after spotting a packet of sausages in the fridge that needed using, I had that eureka moment.

A perfect harvest recipe...use up those marrows by stuffing them with sausagemeat and topping with cheese (if you're not dairy-free)...

Everyone loves sausage meat stuffing at Christmas right? Well, if you’re a meat eater anyway. I don’t think I’d ever get my mum or step dad to eat it.

So I thought I’d trick the kids into eating a stuffed marrow by filling it with something they love. Of course I expected them to eat the sausage filling and to leave the marrow.

To my enormous surprise they both ate the marrow bit too.

‘Sunshine’ even scraping the skin clean (I don’t suggest you eat the skin…it can be rather tough and bitter).

It passed the kid test so I give it to you, safe in the knowledge that if my fussy eaters will have it, you should like it too.

Got loads of marrows? Use them in this delicious and simple sausage stuffed marrow recipe. The kids love it!

Ingredients
 
 

For The Marrow

  • Marrow
  • 6 gluten-free sausages - around 400g
  • 100 g gluten-free breadcrumbs - make your own in a food processor with left over crusts, or ground almonds for the paleo version
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives
  • 4 sage leaves - finely chopped
  • 1 medium egg - beaten
  • Optional cheese for topping

For The Sauce

  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried mixed herbs - or fresh, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic - finely chopped. Or garlic oil if low FODMAP
  • A little olive oil for cooking and drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Cut the marrow into approx. 1 inch slices and cut out the inner pips leaving a hole in the middle (alternatively, if you have a large courgette you could cut it in half lengthways, scoop out the middle leaving a channel to stuff)
  • Place each slice of marrow into a microwavable container with a little water, cover and cook on high power for around 5 minutes until softened. Alternatively steam the slices until slightly softened
  • While the marrow is cooking score a line down each sausage and squeeze the meat out of the skin into a bowl
  • Add the breadcrumbs, chives, chopped sage and beaten egg and squidge together with your hands until well mixed
  • Place the partly cooked slices of marrow into a large dish
  • Fill the holes with the sausage mixture and press down well
  • If you want to, add some grated cheese to the top and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200 degrees (180 fan, gas mark 6) for approx. 40 minutes
  • While the marrow is baking make the sauce
  • Place a little olive oil in a small pan and add the chopped garlic (or use garlic infused oil). Cook on a low heat for around 1 minute before adding the tomatoes and herbs
  • Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and leave to simmer until thickened
  • Serve the marrow on top of a little sauce with some fresh Autumn vegetables and a drizzle of olive oil

    Thank you Vicky that really is a good idea. I had thought of making something with carrots or sweet
    potato. I will look up tomato free sauces and get creative. I too would use tomato sauce if I could.

    Thanks again. Will let you know the results at some time.

      When I quit sugar (on the I quit sugar program) Sarah Wilson uses less tomato based sauces because they are high in sugar…so might be worth looking her recipes up too. It’s how I started looking into alternatives!

    Hi VickI

    I love your receipes. I find most of them easy to adapt for me BUT I cannot take tomatoes. I have histamine intolerance. I know and do substitute red peppers for tomatoes. Do you have any thoughts on an alternative sauce for this? Any ideas would be appreciated

    • Vicki Montague says

      16th October 2017 at 5:08 pm

      Sorry Jennifer, I realise that I use tomatoes a lot. Another alternative could be a butternut squash based sauce (cook and blend with the other ingredients and water until a sauce). There’s some good ideas if you google tomato free sauces too.

    You got your kids to eat marrow? Well done you!
    I am a huge fan of stuffed marrow and often use sausage meat as a base, but even with that, Miss GF won’t enter the fray. Sounds delicious though…. I’ll just have to keep it all to myself xx

    This looks so good! I wouldn’t have known what to do with a marrow! I think there are some in our community garden, hope I get one now, would love to try this!

    There are still plenty around! I’m sure someone will have one they want to get rid of!

    This sounds utterly delicious and how lovely that your kids ate it happily! I think this is the sort of thing my kids would like too. Thanks for linking it up to #CookBlogShare. Eb x

      Thanks Eb. Kids are funny aren’t they? One minute they like something, the next they don’t!
