Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh bell peppers, ground beef, and pantry staples like onions, garlic, and olives at any local supermarket or neighborhood produce market. For authentic Brazilian flavor, fresh parsley and spring onions are ideal for the 'cheiro-verde' component.
Preparation method
- Wash the peppers well, cut off the top part to form a lid, and carefully remove all internal seeds.
- In a pan, 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 stays 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 boiled eggs.
- Stuff each 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 place in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so the pepper cooks in the steam.
- Carefully remove the aluminum foil and let it bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown.
Observations
Stuffed peppers are a traditional dish on the Brazilian table, combining the juiciness of ground beef with the distinct flavor of the peppers. This recipe is excellent for those looking for a complete meal that is easy to prepare and pleases the whole family. The secret to a perfect result is to sauté the beef well until it is crumbly and seasoned before stuffing the peppers. Serve with white rice and a fresh leaf salad for a balanced lunch.
