Where to find ingredients
You can find all fresh produce and meat at local grocers and markets. If you do not have fresh herbs, you may substitute with dry equivalents, but fresh is recommended for the best flavor.
Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers well, cut the top part 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 browned
- Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so that 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, mix in the olives, parsley and chives, salt, and black pepper, and finish by incorporating 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 place in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so that the bell pepper cooks in the steam
- Remove the aluminum foil carefully and let it roast for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and brown slightly
