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

Ingredients

700 g ground beef of your choice
8 medium-sized green peppers
2 large onions, finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
30 ml vegetable oil
Pitted olives to taste
Fresh chopped herbs to taste
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Aluminum foil for covering

Where to find ingredients

You can find all these ingredients at local markets, grocery stores, and butcher shops. For a fresh produce selection, visit the open-air markets in your area. If desired, you may substitute fresh herbs with dried alternatives, though fresh is recommended for the best flavor.

Preparation method

  1. Wash the peppers well, cut the top part to create a lid and carefully remove all the seeds from the inside
  2. In a pan, heat the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
  3. Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so that it remains nice and crumbly during cooking
  4. Cook until the liquid from the meat and onion has almost completely evaporated, 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 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 place in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so that the peppers cook in the steam
  8. Remove the aluminum foil carefully and let bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown
