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

Ingredients

700 g of 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 of oil
Pitted olives to taste
Fresh green herbs to taste
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Aluminum foil for covering

Where to find ingredients

You can find fresh bell peppers and produce at local greengrocers or supermarket fresh sections. Ground beef is available at any butcher shop or meat counter. Use fresh, seasonal herbs for the best flavor.

Preparation method

  1. Wash the bell peppers thoroughly, cut off the top part to create a lid, and carefully remove all internal seeds
  2. In a pan, heat the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they are lightly golden
  3. Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly to ensure it remains loose during cooking
  4. Cook until the liquid from the beef and onion has almost completely evaporated, keeping the meat moist and seasoned
  5. Remove the beef from the heat, mix in the olives, green herbs, salt, and black pepper, and finish by incorporating the chopped hard-boiled eggs
  6. Generously stuff each bell pepper 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 bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so the peppers can steam
  8. Carefully remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown the tops
