Where to find ingredients
You can find all fresh produce, meats, and pantry staples like olives and oil at local supermarkets or neighborhood markets. If needed, you can use any ground meat of your preference as a substitute for the beef.
Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers well, cut the top off to form a lid, and carefully remove all internal seeds
- In a pot, 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, black pepper, and finish by folding in the chopped hard-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 bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so the pepper steams
- Remove the aluminum foil carefully and let it bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown
