Ingredients
| 800 g | Ground meat (mixed or beef) |
| 700 g | Zucchini |

| 250 g | Cherry tomatoes |
| 400 g | Chopped tomatoes |
| 1 Stück | Onion |

| 3 EL | Olive oil |

| 1 Prise | Pepper |

Preparation
Step by step through the recipe
- 1 Wash the 700 g zucchini, cut off the ends and halve them. Remove the core with a spoon and then cut the zucchini into small cubes.
- 2 Cut the 200 g vegan feta into small cubes. Peel the 1 onion and the 1 garlic clove. Cut the garlic into cubes and the onion into thin slices.
- 3 Heat some olive oil in a large pan. Add the 800 g ground meat, the garlic cubes, the onion slices, 1 TL salt, 1 Prise pepper, 1 EL paprika powder and 1 EL oregano. Fry the ground meat until crumbly.
- 4 Heat some olive oil in another pan. Fry the zucchini pieces in it for five minutes. Sprinkle 1 TL salt over them. Add the 250 g cherry tomatoes and fry them for another five minutes.
- 5 Add the vegetable mixture to the ground meat. Pour in the 400 g chopped tomatoes. Bring everything to a boil for five minutes. Remove the zucchini and ground meat skillet from the heat and fold in the 200 g feta cubes.
Notes & tips
Use fresh ground meat (beef or mixed) for a classic flavor experience. The zucchini become soft and juicy through braising. Serve the dish with rice, pasta, or flatbread. Note: The feta cheese is replaced with a vegan feta substitute (e.g., based on coconut or almond). It is worth checking the labels of the ground meat and tomato products (cherry tomatoes, chopped tomatoes), as they can often contain additives.
