Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local markets or major supermarkets in your area. For fresh produce like bell peppers, onions, and herbs, local open-air markets offer the best selection. Ground beef can be requested from your preferred local butcher.
Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers thoroughly, cut off the top part to form 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 stays loose during cooking
- Cook until the liquid from the beef and onion has almost completely evaporated, keeping the meat moist and seasoned
- Remove the beef from the heat, mix in the olives, fresh herbs, salt, black pepper, and finish by incorporating 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 the pepper cooks in the steam
- Remove the aluminum foil carefully and bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown the peppers
