Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 2 large zucchini
• 500 g minced meat
• some olive oil
• 4 carrots
• 2 bell peppers
• 1 ball of mozzarella
• 150 g cheese, grated
• 4 tbsp cream cheese
• 2 packs of tomatoes, chopped
• some salt and pepper
• basil
• Paprika powder, hot
• Spice mix for minced meat
• chili powder

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour

Halve the zucchini and hollow out the halves to form a boat. Brown the minced meat in a pan with a little olive oil until cooked through. Add the diced vegetables and the zucchini inside and fry. After about 10 minutes, add the chopped tomatoes and let them heat through. Add the cream cheese and season to taste. Empty most of the contents of the pan into a baking dish and place the zucchini boats on top of the sauce. Stuff the zucchini with the rest of the minced meat mixture, spread the diced mozzarella on top, and bake everything in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (convection oven) for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top 10 minutes before the end. Serve with rice. It’s also filling as a low-carb dish without it.
