For the filling, mix the tartar with the egg whites and breadcrumbs to form a meat dough. Mix in the Italian herbs and season to taste with salt, cayenne pepper and paprika powder. Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems, deseed if necessary and cut into small cubes. Mix the tomatoes and rice into the meat dough. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Wash the zucchini and remove the ends. Halve the zucchini lengthwise and hollow out the cores with a spoon or a melon baller. There should be a little edge left so the filling doesn’t leak out later. Pour the filling into the zucchini. Place the zucchini in a baking dish, put the dish in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes. Then top with the sliced ​​mozzarella and bake for about 10 minutes more. Serve with a fruity tomato sauce. And the best part of all: less than 12g of fat!
