Ingredients for Aussie Rissoles Cross Between A Patty And A Meatball

How to Make Aussie Rissoles Cross Between A Patty And A Meatball

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the minced beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, Worcestershire sauce, milk, salt, pepper, and parsley.
  2. Mix well until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the rissoles tough.
  3. Shape the mixture into small patties or balls (approximately 10-12 rissoles).
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Cook the rissoles for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  6. Serve hot with your favourite sauce, such as ketchup or gravy. Alternatively, enjoy cold as a snack!
  7. Optional: For crispier rissoles, shallow fry in a little more oil for a longer time.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
