2. While the onions are fried, rinse the zucchini under running water. If it is medium in size, then we use only half of it. If the zucchini is small, then you can add it to the filling. On a coarse grater, rub the zucchini and send it to fry in a pan along with onions. Vegetables should be fried over medium heat, not forgetting to stir them with a spatula.
   
3. We wash 2 mushrooms of champignon so that there is no dirt left on them. Cut them into thin slices about 1-2 mm thick. Then they are still chopped so that they are chopped finely enough.
   
4. Put the cut mushrooms in a pan to the onion and zucchini, mixing everything well. Do not forget to salt and pepper the filling to taste.
   
5. In a deep bowl we put 300-350 g of minced meat. You can make it yourself by twisting the meat in a meat grinder, or purchase it in the store already ready. For stuffed peppers, use pork, beef or chicken. First, boil the rice in a small pan, in total 200 g of boiled product will be required for the dish. Add boiled rice to the bowl with minced meat.

9. Cut a small bunch of parsley into small pieces and add to the prepared mincemeat. After adding greens, re-mix all the ingredients.
   
10. After the mince is ready, proceed to the preparation of sweet peppers. Cut off the tail with a sharp knife. It is worth trimming it carefully, grabbing part of the pepper a little. Ponytails do not throw out, we need them when cooking. Using a knife, we take out the core so as not to damage the pepper itself. Similarly, clean the remaining 3-4 peppers, completely removing all seeds.
    
11. In turn, we stuff 4 sweet peppers with prepared meat.Do not feel sorry for the meat filling and, when filling, lightly ram it with a tablespoon. Minced meat spread a little with the top.

15. Cut 2-3 slices of lemon and put them in a pan. They will give the finished dish a special acid. It is not necessary to use fresh citrus, even a slightly dried lemon will do.
    
16. To give the stuffed peppers a flavor, add 1-2 cloves of garlic to the pan, which are pre-cut into pieces. Do not crush garlic or pass it through a press.
    
17. We cut the champignon, pre-washed under running water, into several large enough pieces and send it to the pan to the rest of the products.
    
18. Tomato cut into 4 slices also helps to give the finished dish a better taste.

23. We close the pan on top with aluminum foil or a lid. We put the pan on the stove and bring the dish to a boil over medium or high heat. After the liquid in the pan boils, we rearrange the pan in the oven, including a temperature of about 200 degrees. Cook the stuffed peppers in the oven for another 30 minutes.
