Qarabali Mimli (stuffed marrows)

So I've abandoned my blog for a while...and for that i am truly apologetic. Sheer laziness is the only place i can lay the blame. And to be honest i thought it would be hard to pick it up again given that I've  been cutting back on my food the last month or so to shed a few pounds. To be precise 1 stone so far.But today i received my copy of The Fast Diet recipe Book and realized there is still creativity in low cal cooking,


What

So today i made a good old family favourite that is actually nutritious and low fat.So you will need:

Half a kilo pork mince

1 egg

chopped parsley

salt and pepper to taste

some grated Parmesan

4 large round marrows

1 large potato

How

Cut the top and bottom off the marrows.  Only a thin slice is necessary from the bottom to allow it to stand flat in the pan. Next hollow out the inside making sure not to break through the bottom. I supplemented mine with a coule of small aubergines.

Next mix all the remaining ingredients together in a bowl leaving a little of the cheese to sprinkle on top. Divide the mince mixture between the 4 marrows. Place in an oven proof dish on top of a bed of sliced potato and add a little water to the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of  each marrow.

Place in a pre-heated oven 200 degrees C and cook for 1 hour.

Before going in the oven

The Verdict
Succulent mince filling, always brought alive by wonderful HP sauce over the top.

Yummmmyyy :)

On the plate and ready to be devoured
