4 courgettes

1 red onion, finely chopped

½ tsp cumin seeds

pinch paprika

12-15 cherry tomatoes

Cut the courgettes in half lengthways and using a teaspoon, scoop out the flesh leaving a 6mm (¼ ") shell.

Put the onion in a little water with the cumin seeds and cook a few minutes to soften the onion.  Add paprika and tomatoes, cook 2-3 mins.

Add carrot and courgette flesh and cook for 5 mins until softened.
