Where to find ingredients
Find all ingredients at your local supermarket, specifically in the fresh produce section for the peppers, onions, and herbs, and in the meat department for the ground beef. You can use any lean ground beef as a substitute if desired.
Preparation method
- Thoroughly wash the bell peppers, cut the top off to create a lid, and carefully remove all internal seeds
- In a pot, heat the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they are lightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so that it remains loose during cooking
- Cook until the liquid from the meat and onions has almost completely evaporated, keeping the meat moist and seasoned
- Remove the meat from the heat, mix in the olives, fresh herbs, 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 the bell pepper steams
- Carefully remove the aluminum foil and let them bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown
