Stuffed Bell Peppers with Ground Beef (Pimentão recheado com carne moída)

Ingredients

700 g 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 vegetable oil
Pitted olives to taste
Fresh herbs to taste
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Aluminium foil for covering

Where to find ingredients

You can find fresh green bell peppers, quality ground beef, and staple seasonings at major local supermarkets such as Woolworths, Pick n Pay, or Checkers. Fresh herbs like parsley or spring onion can be found in the produce section.

Preparation method

  1. Wash the bell peppers thoroughly, cut off the top part to form a lid, and carefully remove all internal seeds
  2. Heat the 30 ml of oil in a pan and sauté the onions and garlic until they are lightly golden
  3. Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so that it stays loose during cooking
  4. Cook until the liquid from the meat and onions has evaporated almost completely, keeping the meat moist and seasoned
  5. Remove the meat from the heat, mix in the olives, fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper, and finish by folding in 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 dish with aluminium foil and place it in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so that the bell peppers cook in the steam
  8. Remove the foil carefully and let it roast for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown the top
