Mix the minced meat with the eggs and breadcrumbs. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme. If the dough is too stiff, add a little water. Form two meatballs from the mixture and fry them in the oil. Finely chop the olives, mix with the crumbled feta cheese and a little thyme. Cut the bell peppers into larger cubes and the zucchini into long slices using a vegetable peeler. Remove the meatballs from the pan and cover with the feta mixture. Brown the vegetables in the meatball fat, add the tomato paste, a little thyme, and 1 tablespoon of water. Sauté everything for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
