SOME PREP
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse and thinly slice the halved leeks. Grate ½ the rinsed baby marrow, place in a clean tea towel, squeeze out, and discard the liquid. Thinly slice the remaining baby marrow, coat in oil, season, and set aside.
COOK THE FILLING
Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the sliced leeks until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and the NOMU & chilli mix. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the tomato passata and 100ml of water. Simmer until reduced and thickening, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
BAKE IT OFF
Stir in the grated baby marrow, the drained beans, and the crumbled feta. Add a sweetener and seasoning. Spread the mixture evenly into a small ovenproof dish. Cover with a layer of the sliced baby marrow and scatter over the grated cheese. Bake until the cheese is golden, 10-12 minutes.
GOLDEN CRUMBS
Place a pan over medium-high heat with 10g of butter and a drizzle of oil. Once melted, add the pea crumb and fry until lightly toasted and golden, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and mix through the lemon zest.
DINNER IS SERVED
Plate up the loaded baked gratin, top with the zesty pea crumb, and serve any remaining lemon wedges on the side. Well done, Chef!
