Equipment

  • Glass Baking Dish (30cm x 25cm)

Ingredients
  

  • 8 Medium Marrows
  • 200 g Split Red Lentils
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Onion
  • 200 g Mushrooms
  • 2 tsp Bouillon Stock
  • 1 tsp Parsley
  • 1 tsp Dried Mixed Herbs
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Curry or mixed spice of choice
  • 2 tbsp Kunserva
  • 20 g Vegan Parmesan
  • 15 g Nutritional Yeast
  • 50 g Vegan Cheese for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200°C
  • Boil lentils for 5 minutes and drain
  • Meanwhile, wash marrows, remove the top, and gently remove the core with a spoon. It’s best to choose medium to large marrows as small ones are easier to break while removing the inside
  • Fry the garlic, and onions in some olive oil, add mushrooms and stir fry
  • Top with bouillon stock mixed with water, herbs and spices of choice
  • Add kunserva and cooked lentils to the mixture
  • Add vegan parmesan and nutritional yeast. These ingredients help the mixture come together in a rich, mushy texture
  • Stuff marrows, top with vegan cheese, and bake for 45 - 55 minutes
