Simple Stuffed Bell Peppers with Ground Beef (Pimentão recheado com carne moída)

Ingredients

700 g ground beef of your choice
8 medium-sized green bell peppers
2 large onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
30 ml oil
Pitted olives to taste
Fresh green herbs (cheiro-verde) to taste
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Aluminum foil for covering

Where to find ingredients

You can find fresh peppers, onions, and garlic at local supermarkets or produce markets. Ground beef is available at the butcher's counter or the meat section of your local grocer.

Preparation method

  1. Wash the bell peppers well, cut off the top to form a lid, and carefully remove all the inner seeds
  2. In a pan, heat the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
  3. Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so that it stays loose during cooking
  4. Cook until the liquid from the meat and onion has evaporated almost completely, keeping the meat moist and seasoned
  5. Remove the meat from the heat, mix in the olives, fresh green herbs, salt, black pepper, and finish by incorporating 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 bell pepper steams through
  8. Remove the aluminum foil carefully and let it bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and brown slightly
