Where to find ingredients
Find the ingredients at your local supermarket, especially in the fresh produce section for the peppers and the butcher counter for the ground beef. You can also use bell peppers of other colors as a substitute, although green is the traditional choice.
Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers well, cut off the top to create 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 remains loose during cooking
- Cook until the liquid from the beef and onion has almost completely evaporated, keeping the beef moist and seasoned
- Remove the beef from the heat, mix in the olives, parsley and scallions, salt, and black pepper, and finish by incorporating the chopped hard-boiled eggs
- Generously stuff 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 that the bell peppers cook in the steam
- Remove the aluminum foil carefully and let bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown
