Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local grocery stores and supermarkets, typically in the produce and meat departments. Use fresh, firm green bell peppers for better structure when baking. Fresh parsley and scallions are usually found in the produce section.
Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers thoroughly, cut off the top to form a lid, and carefully remove all internal seeds
- Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic until they are lightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so that it remains well separated during cooking
- Cook until the liquid from the meat and onions has almost completely evaporated, keeping the meat moist and seasoned
- Remove the meat from the heat, mix in the olives, parsley and scallions, salt, and black pepper, and finish by folding in the chopped hard-boiled eggs
- Fill each bell pepper generously with the ground beef mixture and place them in a baking dish previously greased with oil
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so the bell peppers cook in the steam
- Carefully remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown the tops
