Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh produce like green bell peppers and high-quality ground beef at local markets or neighborhood grocery stores. Fresh herbs and other staples are easily sourced from the produce and pantry sections of any supermarket.
Preparation method
- Wash the peppers well, cut the top part to form a lid, and carefully remove all the internal seeds.
- In a pan, heat the 30 ml of oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they are slightly golden.
- Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so that it stays loose during cooking.
- Cook until the liquid from the meat and onion dries up almost completely, keeping the meat moist and seasoned.
- Remove the meat from the heat, mix in the olives, green herbs, salt, and black pepper, and finish by incorporating the chopped hard-boiled eggs.
- Stuff each pepper generously with the ground beef mixture and place them in a baking dish previously greased with oil.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so that the peppers cook in the steam.
- Remove the aluminum foil carefully and let bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and brown slightly.
