Ingredients
1 fillet or sirloin steak
200g Gorgonzola piccante
½ red pepper, diced
¼ onion
1 clove garlic
100ml double cream
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
Method
Heat the frying oil in a deep pan or deep fat fryer. You can test if it’s hot enough by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil and seeing if it sizzles.
Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat eggs, lemon zest and sugar with an electric mixer for about 1 minute or until frothy. Add ricotta and mix thoroughly. With a spatula, gently fold in dry ingredients until batter is just moistened.
With an ice cream scoop or table spoon, gently drop 8 balls of batter at a time in hot oil. Beware of splattering. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until doughnuts are golden brown. Drain on paper towel and allow to cool.
To serve, generously dust with icing sugar or dip in chocolate sauce, if desired.
