Bell Peppers Stuffed 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 vegetable oil
Pitted olives to taste
Fresh herbs (cheiro-verde) to taste
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Aluminum foil for covering

Where to find ingredients

Find fresh bell peppers, ground beef, and herbs at local markets or supermarkets. For authentic flavor, look for fresh parsley and spring onions to make the 'cheiro-verde' blend.

Preparation method

  1. Wash the bell peppers well, cut off the tops to form a lid, and carefully remove all internal 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 to ensure it stays loose while cooking.
  4. Cook until the liquid from the meat and onions has evaporated almost completely, keeping the meat moist and seasoned.
  5. 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.
  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 baking dish with aluminum foil and place in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so the bell peppers steam.
  8. Remove the aluminum foil carefully and bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown them.
