For the sauce, lightly roast almonds in a pan without fat, stirring constantly. Remove and let cool a little. Then puree with paprika, 2 tablespoons of oil and 4 tablespoons of water with a hand blender to a sauce.
Season to taste with salt and chilli.
Peel onion and garlic and cut into fine cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and sauté the onion and garlic. Wash basil, shake dry, remove leaves and chop finely. Wash the meat, dab dry and dice very finely.
Knead the meat, egg, tabasco, breadcrumbs, basil and onion-garlic mixture into a soft minced dough. Season with salt and pepper.
Form approx. 36 balls from the mass. Heat 4 tablespoons of oil bit by bit and fry the balls in it in portions for about 6 minutes. Arrange the balls with the dip. Baguette tastes good with it.
