This is a simple dip that goes well with nachos or as a side dish with fish or meat.

What you will need:

3 courgettes
Cumin seeds
2 garlic cloves
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Half a lemons juice
Food blender

Turn the oven on to 200c. Cut the courgettes into slices and put in an oven proof dish, sprinkle cumin seeds, the garlic cut in halves, salt and pepper. Add about three tablespoons of olive oil, make sure it coats all the ingredients. Put the dish in the oven for about 30mins, stir the courgettes every 10 mins.

Once cooked remove from the oven, put into a food blender and add the lemon juice. Blend all the ingredients for a few seconds.

You can also do this with aubergines.
