Slice the courgettes in half, gently score & season with salt. Leave for several minutes while you warm up the grill / oven to 220 degrees celsius. Pat the courgettes dry with a paper towel, season with pepper & drizzle well with oil. Roast until tender & charred (10-15 mins, depending on whether grilling / roasting).
In a food processor, add the courgettes, garlic, tahini, a grating of lemon zest, fresh basil, mint, olive oil & yoghurt. Blitz until creamy & combined. Season to taste with salt, pepper & lemon juice if you like.
To serve, spoon into a bowl. Top with toasted pine nuts, pomegranate seeds, olive oil & fresh herbs - enjoy with flatbreads!
