Steamed mixed marrows with cottage cheese and yoghurt topping

By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes (excluding potatoes)

Ingredients

750-800 g mixed marrows, sliced in half a few sprigs of thyme
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 baking or sweet potatoes, baked, to serve
Roasted canola oil, for drizzling (optional)
Chives, for garnishing (optional)

For the topping, mix together

1 x 200 g tub fat free chunky plain cottage cheese
½ cup fat free plain yoghurt
3-4 T chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley and coriander)
2-3 T roasted sunflower seeds
1 clove garlic, crushed
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

Place the marrows in a steamer over simmering water. Add some thyme and seasoning. Cover and steam for about 15 minutes, until just tender. Turn into a bowl and mix.

Serve with the topping and baked potatoes. If you like, garnish with chives and drizzle with canola oil.

Cook’s tip: For a more substantial dinner, serve with baked fresh fish with herbs and lemon.
