3 out of 4 liked these a lot! The PICKY ONE wouldn't even try. I left out the olives as we don't care for them but otherwise follwed the recipe for a very yummy supper!

Served along side Recipe #134360 and a green salad Mmmm, total comfort food!! I made as directed ommiting the olives and roasting about 3 medium capsicum to arrive at the 150g. Thanks so much for sharing this has brought the humble rissole to another level!!
