Cooking Instructions

  1. Cut the baby marrow in half lengthwise and blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Using a melon baller or a tea spoon scoop out 1/3rd of the flesh from the center.
  3. Cut the tops off the cherry tomatoes and scoop out the inside pulp, but not the flesh.
  4. To make the filling, combine the flesh from the baby marrow with the garlic and half of the basil, the anchovies, pine nuts and grana padano cheese.
  5. Add the bread crumbs to the milk and allow to soak for about 10 minutes, then squeeze the milk out and add the bread to the vegetable mixture.
  6. Hydrate the dried mushrooms in a tiny bit of boiling water. When soft, finely chop and add to the vegetable mixture.
  7. Add the eggs.
  8. Briefly blitz the mixture in a blender.
  9. Fill the baby marrows and the cherry tomato with the mixture and bake at 180°C for about 15 minutes.
  10. Remove from the oven and sprinkle a pinch more grana padano on top and bake again for 5 min.
  11. Use basil or pea shoots for garnish.
