Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh bell peppers, ground beef, and common pantry staples like onions, garlic, and eggs at local markets and supermarkets in the produce and meat sections.
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 oil and sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so it stays nice and 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, stir in the olives, parsley and chives, salt, and black pepper, and finish by incorporating the chopped boiled eggs
- Fill each bell pepper generously with the ground beef mixture and place them in a baking dish previously greased with oil
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so the pepper steams
- Carefully remove the aluminum foil and let it bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and brown slightly
