1. Blitz the chillies and tomatoes in a food processor. Quarter the apple, cut out the core then cut the quarters into four.

2. Place all ingredients together in a thick bottomed pan and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the chillies are soft and it starts to become tight and resembles a chunky jam.

1. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy based pan and sauté the leek for about 10 minutes until tender. Add the courgette and cook for a further 5 minutes.

2. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer for about 15 - 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

3. Cool then pureé until smooth - a hand blender is efficient here. Add a generous sprinkle of black pepper to taste and serve piping hot.
