Add sufficient water to have a good gravy, careful it doesn't dry out.
Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 20 - 30 minutes, then add peas and sweet corn and cook for a further five minutes.
If you wish to make stuffed marrow use the above.
Cut four rings or boats of marrow, peel and hollow out the soft inside.
