Beef Rissoles From The Chew Food

RISSOLES!

Steps:

• Grate the onion into a large bowl using a box grater (see video). Add panko, mix briefly to coat in the onion juices.
• Grate zucchini and carrot into the bowl. Add remaining Rissoles ingredients. Mix well. Scoop up about 1/4 cup of mixture, form a 1.7cm / 2/3" thick pattie. Indent the middle slightly (Note 2, see photos in post). Repeat with remaining mixture - you should make 10 - 12.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add half the patties and cook for 4 minutes or until dark golden. Press LIGHTLY with spatula, if you press hard, you'll press the juices out!
• Flip and cook the other side for 3 - 4 minutes until golden.
• Transfer to plate, repeat with remaining rissoles.
• Serve with tomato ketchup!

RISSOLES (DISH TO USE UP LEFTOVERS!)

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife or food processor to mince the beef.
• Heat up a skillet on medium with a bit of oil.
• In a bowl, mix the beef, onion, parsley, bread crumbs, egg, and cinnamon.
• Form into patties and coat both sides lightly with flour.
• Cook rissoles on one side until browned, then turn to the other side and cook until browned and heated through.
• Serve topped with ketchup or leftover gravy.

RISSOLES

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together (except oil), this is best done with your hands.
• Shape into 4 or 6 round balls and dust with the flour.
• Heat the oil on high in a heavy based frying pan until the oil is very hot.
• Place the Rissoles in the hot oil.
• Don't over crowd your pan.
• Make sure the Rissoles do not burn.
• Turn the rissoles over when one side is browned and slightly crispy (make sure they don't burn).
• Cook the other side the same way, turn the heat down to medium and cook through.
• Depending on the thickness of the pan and the size of the rissoles, it may take about 3-4 minutes to cook the Rissoles on each side.
• Do not over cook the Rissoles.
• The cooking time would be similar to cooking American hamburgers.
• Serve with brown meat gravy and mashed potatoes with minted peas.

INDIAN BEEF RISSOLES WITH ROGAN JOSH GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat ovento 180C fan forced (200C normal).
• Heat a little vegetable oil in a pan and gently sauté spring onion and 2 minced garlic cloves until tender and then combine with the mince, yoghurt, garam masala, chilli paste, seasonings and 2 heaped tablespoon chopped coriander (I omitted).
• Form the mixture into 8 rissoles and flour each one and place on 1 - 2 lightly oiled baking trays and then cook the rissoles in the oven for about 15 minutes, turning after 7 minutes and then drain well (I had very little fat to drain as I used a very lean mince).
• While the rissoles are cooking, heat a little oil in a fry pan (he recommended a wok though on the programme he used a fry pan) and sauté the brown onion and 2 sliced garlic cloves until tender.
• Add the curry paste with the cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and bay leaves and mix well and briefly cook to toast the spices. and then add about 1 cup coconut cream with the tomatoes, 1/2 cup stock and seasonings and cook for about 5 minutes until reduced quite heavily, adding more coconut cream and/or stock as needed, taste for seasoning.
• Arrange the rissoles on a large plate (or individual plates), spoon plenty of sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining coriander (omitted).
• Serve with steamed rice (I also serve with some steamed vegetables).
