Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh produce like peppers, onions, and garlic at local markets or produce sections of supermarkets. Ground beef is available at local butcher shops or the meat aisle of your neighborhood grocery store.
Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers well, cut off the top part to form a lid, and carefully remove all internal seeds
- Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so it remains 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, parsley and chives, salt, black pepper, and finish by folding in 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 baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so the bell peppers steam
- Remove the aluminum foil carefully and let it roast for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and brown slightly
