Instructions

1
thaw the margarine in a skillet or wok.

When melted, transfer in the baking flour little by little and swirl around into a thick paste.

bit by bit swirl around in the stock, making sure the roux absorbs the liquid.
4
bubble gently for a couple of mins on a low bring to temperature while you swirl around in the bulb greens, parsley and the shredded flesh.
5
The mixture should thicken and turn into a heavy, thick coulis.
6
transfer the mixture into a shallow container, seal and store in the fridge for several hours, or until the coulis has solidified.
7
Take a heaping tablespoon of the cold, thick coulis and quickly roll it into a small ball.
8
Roll lightly through the baking flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs.
9
Make sure that the egg covers the whole surface of the bitterbal.
10
When done, store in the fridge the snacks while the fat in your fryer heats up to 190C (375F).
11
shallow fry four bitterballen at a time, until golden.
