Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Wrap the whole courgettes in foil, then put in the oven and roast for 20 mins or until soft when pricked with a fork. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

  • step 2

    Put the courgettes in a food processor, with the garlic and blend until it has a fluffy texture. Add the tahini and lemon juice and season, then blitz again. Transfer to a bowl, then stir through the yogurt and a little of the mint. Drizzle with olive oil and scatter over the remaining mint to serve.

Hi, I'm afraid you can't freeze this recipe, but if you still have some left, why not fold through some cooked chicken and lettuce, and serve as a chicken salad for lunch. Or you could also spoon over meatballs, lamb kofte or grilled chicken and serve with a couscous salad or pasta salad for dinner.

I made this without tahini because I don't like it (I make hummus the same way with no problems) and found it very wet. Basically I had to sieve it to lose enough water for it to be 'dip' instead of cold soup. Would the tahini have dried it out a little more? And if yes can anyone suggest an…
