Directions

  1. First, prepare the bell pepper cream: chop the onion and sauté it in a frying pan. After about 10 minutes, add the bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the cream, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Remove the skin from the sausage with a knife. With the meat, form small meatballs by hand. Set aside. ≈ 10 min
  3. Combine the prepared bell pepper cream. In a bowl, add a few tablespoons of tempura flour and gradually add cold water, stirring until a batter forms that is not too thin, following the instructions on the package. ≈ 4 min
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan. Dip the patties in the tempura batter, then drop them into the hot oil. They will first puff up, then turn golden brown. Drain them on paper towels.
  5. Arrange the meatballs on a plate with the bell pepper cream alongside. This recipe is perfect for making pintxos. ≈ 2 min
