Stuffed Marrow Rings

Ingredients:

1 large or 2 medium marrows

a couple of tablespoons of olive oil for coating

1 large onion

100g/4 oz/1 cup almonds

3 slices of bread

a good handful of fresh basil (or two teaspoons of dried herbs of your choice)

Preheat oven to 190C/380F. Cut the marrow into approx. inch/2cm rings. Cut out the seedy middles (off to the compost!) and peel if necessary (fresh from the garden ones don't need but older ones may be tougher) and rub with the olive oil. Lay on a baking tray. Combine the onion, nuts, herbs and bread in a food processor until it reaches a nice pate like consistency. Spoon this mixture into the rings and bake for about half an hour or until the marrow is beginning to go golden and soft.
