Marrow Stuffed with Vegetables

This vegetable dish is a good option for those trying to lose their weight or keeping a diet. As recent scientific studies show, thermal treatment increases the antioxidant properties of carrot and tomato. Simmering tomatoes in oil increases their lycopene content and turns lycopene into more digestible form. Marrows are tasty and very soft. And lovage gives this dish a kick and also helps to lose weight and remove toxins.
