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

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.
