Where to find ingredients
You can find all these fresh ingredients at local supermarkets, vegetable markets, or butcher shops in your area. Look for firm, vibrant peppers and high-quality ground beef at the meat counter.
Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers well, cut off the top part to create a lid, and carefully remove all the inner seeds.
- Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic until they turn slightly golden.
- Add the ground beef to the pan and stir constantly so that it remains 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, fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper, and finish by incorporating the chopped hard-boiled eggs.
- Stuff each bell 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 steams.
- Carefully remove the aluminum foil and let it bake for another 5 minutes to finish cooking and brown slightly.
