Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers well, cut the top part to form a lid, and carefully remove all internal seeds
- In a pot, heat the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pot and stir constantly so that it stays 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 chives, salt, and black pepper, and finish by incorporating the chopped hard-boiled eggs
- Generously fill each bell pepper 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 the pepper steams
- Carefully remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown
