Stuffed Peppers with Minced Meat (Pimentão recheado com carne moída)

Ingredients

700 g ground beef of your choice
8 medium-sized green bell peppers
2 large onions, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
30 ml vegetable oil
Pitted olives to taste
Fresh parsley and spring onions to taste
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Aluminium foil for covering

Where to find ingredients

You can find all these fresh ingredients at your local supermarket, such as Tesco, SuperValu, or Dunnes Stores. Look for the produce section for the peppers, onions, and fresh herbs, and the butcher counter or meat aisle for the ground beef.

Preparation method

  1. Wash the peppers well, cut off the top to form a lid, and carefully remove all the seeds from inside
  2. In a pan, heat the 30 ml of oil and sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
  3. Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so that it remains loose during cooking
  4. Cook until the liquid from the meat and onion has almost completely evaporated, keeping the meat moist and seasoned
  5. Remove the meat from the heat, mix in the olives, fresh parsley and spring onions, salt, and black pepper, and finish by incorporating the chopped hard-boiled eggs
  6. Stuff each pepper generously with the minced meat mixture and place them in a baking dish previously greased with oil
  7. Cover the dish with aluminium foil and place it in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so that the pepper steams
  8. Carefully remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown the top
