Directions

  1. First, prepare the pepper cream: chop the onion and sauté it in a pan. After about 10 minutes, add the 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. Whisk the prepared pepper cream. In a bowl, add a few tablespoons of tempura flour and gradually add cold water, whisking constantly until a batter forms that is not too thin, following the instructions on the package. ≈ 4 min
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a pot. Dip the balls in the tempura batter, then immerse them in 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 pepper cream sauce alongside. This recipe is perfect for making pintxos. ≈ 2 min
