Best Ever Rissoles

This is my family rissole recipe that is jam packed with flavour, inexpensive and healthy as well. I don’t have a recipe and I don’t measure the ingredients, so I had to make a guestimate at some of the measurements. You made need to adjust.

Method

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well with your hands, adding enough breadcrumbs so that the mixture comes together without being sloppy.
2. Shape into rissoles and refrigerate for 10 minutes or so.
3. I like to fry these in a little macadamia nut oil flavoured with a little butter, but they BBQ and grill just as well.

Makes about 8 depending on the size you make the rissoles.

If you want to make the mince go further or make them a little extra healthy, I also add cooked red lentils to the mixture, about 1/4 or less of the mince. The lentils add fibre, but they can make the rissoles stick when you cook them on the BBQ, so you may need a little extra oil when cooking them.

If you combine the mixture well, giving it a good squish, no-one will see the vegetables and lentils and they won’t even know they’re eating them.

Nothing beats rissoles with mash and greens, but these rissoles can also form the best burgers ever.
