Rissoles like mum used to make

I found that sausage mince works well and it's easy - and cheap. But you need to run the tap keep your hands wet while working with it. You don't need eggs or binders... just the mince. Finely shop onion, carrot, tomato and celery and mix in with the mince. Shape into patties, roll in breadcrumbs then shallow fry or grill till breadcrumbs are golden. Serve with pumpkin and potato mash, peas and gravy.

Oh yes... and if you like a curry flavor, add a teaspoon or two of curry powder to the mix. Mmmm!

Pete & I ran a roadhouse at Oakey for a few years back in the '90s, and this is the recipe for the hamburger rissoles we used to make - obviously we used to make them in bigger quantities, so I have cut down the recipe to more manageable sizes:

ROADHOUSE RISSOLES

500g beef mince
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 onion, finely chopped
2 Tblsps parsley/mixed herbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 Tblsp Worchestshire sauce
2 Tblsp BBQ sauce
salt & pepper to taste

Mix altogether and make into patties (shape them using an ice cream scoop and egg rings) Heat about 2 Tblsp oil in frying pan, cook for 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown and cooked through. Work great on the barbie too.

My mums was mince, chopped onion, mixed herbs, an egg.
Roll in flour, dip in water/milk and roll again in flour.
Shallow fry.

Myself, I add tomato paste and worchestershire sauce.

These are my Recipe,I never knew my Mum much

500 Grams Beef Mince

3 slices stale white bread very finely chopped,crusts removed

enough milk to soak bread until very moist (this is the binder),no egg used or needed in these.

1 onion very finely chopped,and add finely grated celery,and carrot,to your desire

1/2 teaspoon curry powder

2 tablespoons fruit chutney

1 teaspoon mixed herbs

1 teaspoon parsley

Mix bread with milk,let soak until you have a fine wet mixture,add more milk if needed,Probably

add mince and other ingredients,you should have a quite moist mixture.

shape as you like,and finely dust with plain flour

Fry in a little of whatever suits you,until Rissoles are cooked

Serve with Mashed Potato,and Gravy,and whatever Veggies you like.

I normally don't use recipes much,so had to think really hard about this.

Use pork mince if you want really delicate meatballs. I use a 50/50 mixture of pork and beef. Makes good mb's

50/50 pork and veal also makes a good rissole.

GaryKelly · Guru

Thanks for the tip about pork/veal mince. In my current toothless state, I'm restricted to mince dishes (curry, savory, taco, bol, Asian, etc) and have found the pork/veal to be very easily swallowed without the need for chewing. Makes all the difference.

I use the recipe my mum used. It was just sausage mince, chopped up onion and mixed herbs. I also roll them in flour before cooking. My kids use this same recipe too.
