Peixinhos da horta (Portuguese pronunciation: [pɐjˈʃĩɲuʒ] or [pejˈʃĩɲuʒ ðɐ ˈɔɾtɐ]) is a Portuguse dish. Its name in Portuguese means "little fishes from the garden", as it looks like small pieces of colourful fish.[1] It was brought to Japan by Portuguese sailors in the 16th century, where it became tempura.[2][3]
Peixinhos da horta is usually made by covering green beans in a wheat flour batter and then deep frying it.[4]
