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 chives to taste
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Aluminum foil for covering

Where to find ingredients

You can find all these ingredients at local grocery stores, supermarkets, or farmers' markets. Choose fresh, firm bell peppers and high-quality ground beef for the best results.

Preparation method

  1. Wash the bell peppers well, cut off the top part to form a lid, and carefully remove all the inner seeds
  2. In a pot, heat the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they are lightly golden
  3. Add the ground beef to the pot and stir constantly so that it stays well-separated during cooking
  4. Cook until the liquid from the meat and onions has almost completely evaporated, keeping the meat moist and seasoned
  5. Remove the meat from the heat, mix in the olives, parsley, chives, salt, black pepper, and finish by folding in the chopped hard-boiled eggs
  6. Stuff each bell pepper generously with the ground beef mixture and place them in a baking dish previously greased with oil
  7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so the peppers steam
  8. Remove the foil carefully and bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown the tops
