Stewed Vegetable Marrow Recipe

1 middling-sized vegetable marrow.

1 pint water.

1 ounce butter.

1/2 ounce flour.

1/2 teaspoon salt.



Peel and slice the marrow and remove the seeds; place these in a

saucepan with the water and salt, and simmer for a quarter of an hour.

Dissolve half an ounce of butter in a stewpan, put in the slices of

marrow, and strain the liquor from the seeds over them; stew gently for

half or one hour, according to the age of the marrow. When quite done,

lift the pieces out carefully. Mix the other half ounce butter and flour

into a paste, thicken the gravy with this, pour it over the marrow, and

serve. A sprig of mint may be boiled with the seeds if liked.



Note.--This method of boiling vegetable marrows will be found greatly

superior to that generally adopted, as in this case there is no waste

nor loss of flavour.
