Serves

Ingredients
4 medium courgettes
300g The Co-operative lamb mince
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tsp each of cinnamon and cumin
3 tbsp tomato purée
Small handful (about 40g) sultanas
Handful (about 25g) grated hard cheese eg. grand padano
Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C/ fan 170°C/ Gas 5. Cut the courgettes in half lengthways and use a small teaspoon to scrape out the middle of the courgettes, reserving the flesh.
Put the mince into a pan and dry fry until browned. Tip onto a plate. Heat the oil and fry the onion and courgette flesh for about 5 minutes or until starting to soften, then add the garlic, cinnamon and cumin and cook for a minute. Put the mince back in the pan with the tomato purée, sultanas and a little water (about 3 or 4 tablespoons) and cook for 10 minutes. The mixture will be quite thick but not too wet.
Rest the courgettes on a baking tray, spoon the filling inside, sprinkle with the cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes until the courgettes are cooked and the cheese is melted and golden.
