1 clove garlic, minced
4 tsp margarine
60g bread, cubed
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
4 tsp margarine
60g bread, cubed
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt to taste
Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh baby marrow and pantry staples at local supermarkets like Woolworths, Pick n Pay, or Checkers. If you prefer to experiment, crusty white bread makes for a better crunch than soft sandwich loaves. As a substitute for margarine, you can use salted butter.
Preparation method
- Slice the baby marrows in half lengthwise.
- Place them in a microwave-safe plastic bag.
- Microwave on high power for 6 minutes.
- Carefully remove from the microwave and let them cool slightly.
- Scoop out the pulp with a spoon and chop it finely.
- Set the skins aside to serve as the base for the filling.
- In a microwave-safe dish, melt the margarine and brown the garlic for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped pulp, cubed bread, oregano, and salt.
- Gently combine all the filling ingredients.
- Divide the filling evenly into the reserved skins.
- Arrange the stuffed baby marrows in a baking dish.
- Return to the microwave for another 2 minutes on high power to finish.
- Serve immediately, topping with grated cheese if desired.
