Wash the peppers and cut them crosswise along the top third. Remove the seeds and white inner pith. Remove the stem. Preheat the oven to 170-180 degrees Celsius (convection oven). Fry the onions in a little olive oil until slightly translucent. Season with salt, hot and sweet paprika, and freshly grind pepper. Then add the minced meat, season generously with salt, and fry until the meat is cooked through. Add some herbs de Provence and more pepper if desired. Dice the feta cheese and add it briefly to the minced meat until the cheese melts slightly. Fill the peppers with the minced meat and feta mixture and place them upright in a suitable baking dish. Put the lids on the peppers. Arrange the diced zucchini around the stuffed peppers and pour the canned tomatoes over them. Lightly season the sauce with salt and pepper and add the herbs de Provence and basil. Sprinkle with Vegeta or vegetable broth powder and add sour cream. Stir the sauce lightly. Bake in the oven at about 180 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes, until the peppers are lightly browned. This version is suitable as a dinner for those who want to lose weight while they sleep. Served with rice as a side dish, it’s a regular meal for those not on a diet.
