Beef-Stuffed Peppers (Pimentão recheado com carne moída)

Ingredients

700 g minced meat of your choice
8 medium-sized green capsicums
2 large onions, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
30 ml vegetable oil
Pitted olives to taste
Fresh chopped herbs to taste
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Aluminium foil for covering

Where to find ingredients

You can find fresh green capsicums, quality minced beef, and all pantry staples at any local supermarket or fresh produce market. Feel free to substitute the green capsicums with red or yellow varieties for a sweeter flavour profile.

Preparation method

  1. Wash the capsicums well, cut off the top part to form a lid, and carefully remove all internal seeds
  2. In a pot, heat the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
  3. Add the minced meat to the pot, stirring constantly to ensure it remains well-loosened while cooking
  4. Cook until the liquid from the meat and onions has almost completely evaporated, keeping the meat moist and well-seasoned
  5. Remove the meat from the heat, mix in the olives, fresh herbs, salt, black pepper, and finish by folding in the chopped hard-boiled eggs
  6. Generously stuff each capsicum with the minced meat mixture and place them in a baking dish previously greased with oil
  7. Cover the dish with aluminium foil and place in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so the peppers steam
  8. Remove the aluminium foil carefully and bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown the tops

Stuffed peppers are a staple in Brazilian households, perfectly blending the succulence of seasoned minced meat with the bold flavour of the capsicum. This recipe is an excellent choice for those seeking a complete meal that is simple to prepare and sure to please the whole family. The secret to a perfect result lies in sautéing the meat well until it is loose and nicely seasoned before stuffing the peppers. Serve it with steamed white rice and a fresh leafy salad for a well-balanced meal.
