Ingredients for Baked Marrow With Sweetcorn

  • 1 medium marrow (approximately 700g)
  • Sweet Corn
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • Salt, to taste

How to Make Baked Marrow With Sweetcorn

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (400°F / Gas Mark 6).
  2. Wash and peel a medium marrow (approximately 700g). Halve it lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon.
  3. Cut the marrow into 2cm thick slices, then chop into bite-sized chunks.
  4. Place the marrow chunks in the center of a large square of kitchen foil (approximately 30cm x 30cm).
  5. Add 1 cup of fresh or frozen sweetcorn kernels.
  6. Dot 2 tablespoons of butter evenly over the marrow and corn.
  7. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Bring the sides of the foil up and over the vegetables, sealing loosely to create a parcel.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the marrow is tender and slightly caramelized.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
