To make Herby Stuffed Courgettes, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 200 °C/fan 180 °C/gas 6.
In a large pot of boiling water, cook courgettes, whole, for 5 minutes then drain and leave to cool slightly.
Slice the courgettes in half, lengthwise and scoop out the middle flesh. Set aside the hollowed out halves.
In a large frying pan, heat some oil and add the chopped flesh and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until fragrant and golden.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked courgette flesh, grated carrot, breadcrumbs, raisins, beaten eggs, basil thyme and most of the grated cheddar cheese.
Spoon the stuffing mixture into the halved courgettes and scatter the left over cheese on top.
Arrange courgettes evenly, side-by-side on a large baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes until the cheese has melted and the tops are golden brown.
Enjoy, hot and fresh from the oven.
