• Cook the chorizo in a saucepan until it releases it's oil and begins to go a little crispy. Add the onions and chilli pepper. When the onions are soft, add the garlic. Cook for a minute and then add the rest of the vegetables, the herbs and spices, and the rice. Stir in.
• Add about 3/4 of the stock. Cover and leave to simmer gently. After 15 minutes check it and stir in the rest of the stock if necessary.
• Spoon the filling into the marrow. You might not be able to fit all the stuffing in. Return the stuffed marrows to the oven and cook for another 20 minutes. The extra stuffing can be served alongside the marrows or for anyone who doesn't like marrow and just wants the stuffing.

SOOTHING CREAMY RICE

Steps:

• In a medium size saucepan combine rice with broth and bring the liquid to a boil over medium heat. Cover and simmer until the rice is almost tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the peas and simmer, covered 5 minutes longer. At this point you can serve half to the kids, garnished with some cheese. If you are making this for adult tastes only stir in Worcestershire, cayenne and grated cheese. Remove the pan from the heat and continue to stir until the cheese is entirely melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately before the dish gets gummy.
• To reheat leftovers and change the flavor a bit, layer the rice in a baking dish and top with some tomato sauce. Cover and reheat in a microwave or regular oven until very hot.

STUFFED MARROW BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion, garlic and 2 tsp of the herbs for 3 mins until starting to soften. Add the turkey and brown all over, then tip in the tomatoes and cook for 5 mins more.
• Scoop out the middle of the marrow and discard (or fry, then freeze for another time - try it mashed with potato). Arrange the slices in a baking dish. Spoon the mince into the middle of each marrow slice, then spoon the rest over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, mix remaining herbs with the breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Remove the marrow from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle over the crumbs. Return to the oven for 10 mins more until crumbs are golden and crisp and marrow is tender.

EMILY NATHAN'S MARROW BALLS

Steps:

• To remove the marrow from the bones, place them on a paper towel or plate in a microwave for 40 seconds. Scrape the bone with a spoon or a table knife and reserve 4 tablespoons of the marrow.
• In a bowl, cream the marrow with a fork until perfectly smooth. Mix in the eggs, salt, nutmeg and chopped parsley. Mix in enough matzoh meal to make a soft dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for several hours in the refrigerator.
• Using your hands, roll the dough into balls the size of a quarter. Meanwhile, bring the chicken soup to a simmer. Fill a separate saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Drop in one marrow ball; if it doesn't hold together, add more matzoh meal to the dough.
• Test again. When the test ball holds together, drop the remaining balls into the simmering soup and cook 10 to 15 minutes or until light and cooked through.
