- Fill each zucchini cup and if you have some leftover you can fill red peppers or simply make some meatballs. Garnish with a tiny slice of tomato. Place the filled zucchinis into the prepared clay dish. (For the regular baking dish add a little water before baking).
- Cook for about 30-40 minutes, For the last minutes you can take the lid off and use te grill function to get tops lightly browned. Serve with sour cream.
