- 1 onion
- vegetable oil
- 600 grams Ground beef

Soak bread in lukewarm water.
Rinse chile pepper and halve lengthwise. Remove seeds and ribs. Finely chop. Rinse, shake dry and finely chop herbs. Rinse celery. Thinly slice 1/3 of celery and set aside. Cut remaining celery into small cubes.
Peel and finely chop onion. Heat oil in a pan and cook onion, chile pepper and celery cubes over high heat. Stir in up to 2 tablespoons of the herbs. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a bowl, combine ground beef, egg, bread (drained and squeezed to remove liquid), mustard and cooked vegetable mixture. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. With your hands, form small meatballs and flatten slightly. In a pan, fry meatballs in clarified butter over high heat until golden-brown.
Sprinkle with reserved celery slices and chives. Serve garnished with basil leaves and celery leaves.
