Ingredients

4 large courgettes , halved lengthways
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion , finely chopped
1 garlic clove , finely chopped
100g breadcrumb
100g mature cheddar , grated
25g finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
175g Cumberland pork chipolata , squeezed from their skins
salad , to serve (optional)

Steps:

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Using a teaspoon, scoop out the flesh from the courgettes, then roughly chop.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion for 6-8 mins until soft. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Add the chopped courgette and cook for a further 6 mins until really tender.
Remove from the heat and tip into a bowl along with the breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley and the sausagemeat. Mix together well.
Spoon the mixture into the hollowed out courgette halves and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 mins - cover towards the end if browning - until the courgettes are tender and the filling is golden. Serve with a salad, if you like.
