Use a teaspoon or melon baller to
hollow out the courgette halves, ensuring there is a 1cm
border left. Finely chop the scooped-out courgette flesh.
-
Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil
in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry
the lamb mince until really crisp. Turn down the heat and
add the onion, courgette flesh and a pinch of salt. Cook
gently for 10 mins or until softened. Add the cinnamon and
the oregano, and cook for a few mins before tipping in the
chopped tomatoes and simmering for 15 mins or until
thickened. Season and stir in the raisins, pine nuts and
parsley.

Heat the oven to 200C/ 180C Fan/ Gas
6. Microwave the courgette halves for 5 mins on high to
soften the shells or bake, covered in the oven for 10
mins. Put the courgette halves onto a baking tray and fill
with the lamb and tomato sauce. Crumble over the feta and
drizzle over the remaining olive oil. Bake for 25-30 mins
or until the courgettes are cooked through. Serve with a
green salad.
