Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ medium white onion roughly diced
- 1 medium courgette (zucchini) roughly diced
- 1 clove garlic roughly chopped
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 720 ml vegetable stock
- 15 g fresh mint
- 60 g baby spinach
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a low/medium heat. Add the onions and courgette and cook gently for a minute or so.
- Add garlic and cumin and stir well. Cook for a few minutes longer so that the courgette is just tender and starting to brown a little.
- Add the stock and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer for 5-6 minutes until the courgette has softened.
- Remove from the heat and stir through the mint and spinach.
- Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Serve warm or chilled.
