Ingredients:

---For the mustard sauce:
1/4 Cup sour cream
1 Tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
2 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice to taste
1/4 Pound kielbasa or other cooked smoked sausage
1/2 Cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 Teaspoon vegetable oil plus additional for deep-frying the hush puppies
1 Large egg
1/4 Cup milk
1/2 Cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 Cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 Teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/8 Teaspoon cayenne -- or to taste
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Cup thinly sliced scallion
 

Preparation:

Make the mustard sauce: In a small bowl whisk together the sour cream, the mustard, the lemon juice, and salt to taste. In a skillet cook the kielbasa and the bell pepper in 1/2 teaspoon of the oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until the bell pepper is crisp-tender. In a bowl whisk together the egg and the milk, into the bowl sift together the cornmeal, the flour, the baking powder, the cayenne, and the salt, and whisk the mixture until it is combined well. Transfer the kielbasa mixture with a slotted spoon to the bowl, add the scallion, and stir the batter until it is just combined. In a deep skillet or deep fryer heat 1 1/2 inches of the additional oil to 320% F, add tablespoons of the batter, and fry the hush puppies, turning them once, for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until they are golden, transferring them with a slotted spoon as they are fried to paper towels to drain. Serve the hush puppies with the mustard sauce.
