Calories 70 kcal
- 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

- 2 tbsp Kunserva
- 20 g Vegan Parmesan
- 15 g Nutritional Yeast
- 50 g Vegan Cheese for topping
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
