How about vegetable marrow "caviar", a variation of Poor Man's Caviar
(made with aubergines)?

Vegetable Marrow "Caviar"

4-5 medium-sized vegetable marrows
3 onions, finely monced
500 g (about a pound) tomatoes, chopped
1 cup vegetable oil
50 ml (3 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar)
salt, paprika, freshly-ground black pepper, sugar to taste

Bake vegetable marrows in hot oven until soft. Take out and remove the
skin. Mince the flesh finely with a sharp knife or put through the
coarse disk of a grinder/mincer. In a heavy casserole, fry onion in
some oil until half-ready, add the tomatoes, sugar, paprika and pepper.
Salt to taste, pour in the rest of oil and the vinegar and mix
thoroughly. Simmer, covered, until the "caviar" thickens and takes on a
golden colour. Chill and serve with crusty bread.
