- 2-3 zucchini
- 1 pound of ground beef
- ¼ pound of Mortadella (Boloni)
- Parmesan cheese

Rinse the vegetables. Cut peppers in 4 lengthwise. Now cut onions in 2 taking away the inner part. Cut in half zucchini and hollow them.
Sauté the inner part of onions and zucchini in extra virgin olive oil till they are soft.
In a bowl mix these together with meat, minced mortadella, 3-4 table spoons of parmesan cheese, 2/3 tea spoons of thyme, salt, pepper and soaked bread (in milk) . Mix well and stuff the hollowed vegetables. Put them in a pan. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, pour some extra virgin olive oil on top of each piece and cook at 350°F for about 45/60 minutes. Serve hot (but cold just as good).
