Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at your local neighborhood market or supermarket in the produce, pantry, and meat sections. If you cannot find fresh green herbs, dried parsley or cilantro are suitable substitutes.
Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers well, cut off the top part to form a lid, and carefully remove all the internal seeds.
- In a pan, heat the 30 ml of oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they are lightly browned.
- Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so that it stays loose during cooking.
- Cook until the liquid from the meat and onion has evaporated almost completely, keeping the meat moist and seasoned.
- Remove the meat from the heat, mix in the olives, green 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 that the bell pepper cooks in the steam.
- Carefully remove the aluminum foil and let it bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown.
