Ground Beef Stuffed Peppers (Pimentão recheado com carne moída)

Ingredients

700 g of ground beef of your choice
8 medium 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 herbs (cheiro-verde) to taste
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Aluminum foil for covering

Where to find ingredients

You can find all fresh ingredients at local markets or supermarkets in the produce and butchery sections. If preferred, you may substitute the fresh herbs with flat-leaf parsley and spring onions for an authentic flavor profile.

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 pot, heat the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they are lightly browned
  3. Add the ground beef to the pot and stir constantly so it stays loose during cooking
  4. Cook until the liquid from the beef and onion has almost completely evaporated, keeping the beef moist and seasoned
  5. Remove the beef from the heat, mix in the olives, fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper, and finish by incorporating the chopped hard-boiled eggs
  6. Fill 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 bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so the bell pepper cooks in the steam
  8. Remove the aluminum foil carefully and let it bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and brown slightly
