Looking for an easy budget family dinner? Learn how to make the BEST Beef and Vegetable Rissoles here!
Growing up the good old Rissole with veggies (ALWAYS veggies) was a regular on our dinner table. I must admit it wasn’t my favourite meal, but it certainly wasn’t my most disliked. I’d never made Rissoles before having my boys, but it’s now become one of our favourite meals!
All of my boys LOVE eating these Beef and Vegetable Rissoles and can easily smash back two or three of them each in just one sitting. Instead of serving them with vegetables like the old days, we usually enjoy them with a basic salad of tomato, grated carrot and cheese, beetroot and cucumber – and in burgers of course!
This is a really easy recipe to adapt. You could add extra vegetables such as sweet potato or zucchini (both taste delicious). The below recipe makes around 10 Rissoles (depending on the size you make them) and you can freeze any leftovers – they make a great easy meal!
How to Make Rissoles:
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Using either your hands or a large metal spoon, break up mince and mix together until combined.
2. Scoop up approximately 1/4 cup of mince mixture and roll into a balls. Place onto a plate and pop in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Place patties in a large non stick frying pan over a medium heat. Press down each pattie slightly and cook for approximately 3 -4 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
My Tips for Making Rissoles:
- You can leave the egg out of this recipe if you prefer.
- These Rissoles can be frozen either before or after cooking.
- You can substitute or add grated vegetables to this recipe. We also like to add sweet potato or pumpkin.
- These Rissoles are also a great lunch box snack!
How can I stop my Rissoles from falling apart?
- Pop the mixture into the fridge for 30 minutes to chill after rolling into balls.
- When forming the rissoles, squeeze out as much of the excess moisture as you can.
- Ensure you pan is hot and well greased (I like to use ghee or extra virgin olive oil) and don’t try to flip your rissole over until it’s cooked on one side. The more you ‘handle’ the rissoles, the more fragile they will become.
