From 15 to 20 minutes to boil the marrows

🥘 Ingredients

4 or 5 moderate-sized marrows, 1/2 pint of white sauce, No. 539. [Illustration: VEGETABLE MARROW IN WHITE SAUCE.]

👨‍🍳 Method

Pare the marrows; cut them in halves, and shape each half at the top in a point, leaving the bottom end flat for it to stand upright in the dish. Boil the marrows in salt and water until tender; take them up very carefully, and arrange them on a hot dish. Have ready 1/2 pint of white sauce, made by recipe No. 539; pour this over the marrows, and serve.

Old-fashioned cooking done right

I tried my hand at Vegetable Marrows in White Sauce this week, a recipe that took me back to the basics of classical cooking. I must admit, I was initially skeptical about the simplicity of it all—just marrows and white sauce. But sometimes, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. The delightful surprise came when I poured that creamy white sauce over the tender, perfectly shaped marrows. The sauce, which I prepared using a classic béchamel technique, was rich and velvety, clinging beautifully to the marrows. It was a comforting dish, perfect for a weeknight cook who appreciates the elegance of simplicity. I served it as a side, but it could easily be a light main for those seeking comfort in their meals. The key is to boil the marrows until they are just tender—any longer and you risk losing that perfect texture.
