Can I put marrow in shepherd's pie?

[whatdayisit]

That's it really.

I have to make a shepherd's pie for 10 people.

My usual method it to add whatever's left from the veg box, so this week I have, onions, good, carrots, good, celery, good, mushroom and tomatoes, ok, but is marrow a step too far? I'd love to use it up. I'm torn between thinking this is exactly what marrow should be used for, because of the way it takes on flavours, and it will be too watery. What do you think?

I would in fact I might now tomorrow

It will be lovely.

Good idea - as you say maybe cut down on liquid a bit. I am having stuffed marrow ce soir as it happens.

I've got a marrow this week too and a bit stuck as to what to do with it, it is lurking at the back of the fridge glowering at me. I feel like I have met my nemesis! I need to do something vegetarian with it, stuff it possibly?!

No! I'd stuff the marrow tbh (even though I'd rather chuck it in teh bin!)

Is that really how you make shepherd's pie?

i love stuffed marrow. with cheese sauce oh yum.

I meant I'd stuff the marrow withwith the lamb mince & assorte veg rather than use it in shepherd's pie.

What is your secret fishie? What do you stuff it with?

I made a risotto the other day and stuffed a marrow with it... YUM! (And good for a veggie Klio)

Sorry - doesn't help the OP with her Shepherd's Pie dilemma . I would definitely put it in the pie though!

onion bacon mince breadcrumbs. might bung a bit of carrot in, my mum uses grated cheese too. peel and hollow out marrow, boil for 5 mins stuff and bake for 45 mins or so.

Ah that sounds good pookamoo! I am going to go and do some experimenting!

Sorry for slight thread hijack whatdayisit

Well I put the Marrow in and it was fine. TBH you wouldn't have known it was there Thank you everyone.

I thought you meant bone marrow
