Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh produce like bell peppers and onions at local wet markets or supermarket vegetable aisles. Minced beef and pantry staples such as olives and oil are readily available at all major supermarket chains in Singapore.
Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers well, cut off the top part to form a lid, and carefully remove all internal seeds
- In a pan, heat the 30 ml of oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they are slightly golden
- Add the minced beef to the pan and stir constantly so that it stays 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, fresh herbs, salt, black pepper, and finish by incorporating the chopped hard-boiled eggs
- Stuff each bell pepper generously with the minced meat 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 through
- Carefully remove the aluminum foil and let it bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and brown slightly
Observations
Stuffed bell peppers are a traditional feature at Brazilian tables, combining the juiciness of ground meat with the distinct, bold flavor of the peppers. This dish is excellent for those looking for a complete, easy-to-prepare meal that pleases the whole family. The secret to a perfect result lies in sautéing the meat well until it is loose and well-seasoned before stuffing the peppers. Serve with white rice and fresh green salad for a balanced lunch.
