Where to find ingredients
Find fresh bell peppers, ground beef, and aromatics at your local grocery store or vegetable market. For authentic flavor, use fresh herbs available at the produce section.
Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers thoroughly, cut off the top part to create a lid and carefully remove all internal seeds
- In a pan, heat the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so that it remains loose during cooking
- Cook until the liquid from the meat and onion has almost completely evaporated, keeping the meat moist and seasoned
- Remove the meat from the heat, mix in the olives, parsley and green onions, salt, black pepper, and finish by folding in the chopped hard-boiled eggs
- Stuff 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 that the peppers steam
- Carefully remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown
