Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local municipal markets or your neighborhood supermarkets in the produce and meat sections. Fresh herbs can be substituted with dried ones if necessary, though fresh is always preferred for the best flavor.
Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers well, 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 nice and 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, 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 place in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so that the bell pepper cooks in the steam
- Remove the aluminum foil carefully and let it bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown
