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

Find these ingredients at local markets or grocery stores, particularly in the fresh produce and meat sections. Use lean ground beef for better results, and fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro (cheiro-verde) are essential for the authentic taste.

Preparation method

  1. Wash the bell peppers well, cut off the top to create a lid, and carefully remove all internal seeds
  2. In a pot, 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 so that it remains loose while cooking
  4. Cook until the liquid from the meat and onions has almost completely evaporated, 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 baking dish with aluminum foil and place in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so the bell pepper cooks in the steam
  8. Remove the foil carefully and let it bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown
