Aussie Rissoles (Cross Between a Patty and a Meatball!)

Rissoles are an economical everyday dish. When dining informally with a large group of people, you'll often find Rissoles on the menu, especially if it's a barbeque! You can triple the recipe and freeze the extra cooked Rissoles for future meals or freeze them raw and cook them later. You can serve them with ketchup or gravy as a main dish or eaten cold as a snack. I found this recipe on an Australian website. Enjoy!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1  lb lean ground beef
• 1  medium onion, finely chopped
• 1  cup  soft breadcrumbs
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried herbs (choose your favourite)
• 1  tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1  egg, season and beat well
•  flour, as needed

Directions

1. Blend all ingredients well (except flour).
2. Shape into balls and flatten slightly. Make your rissoles 2 1/2" in diameter for a main dish, smaller if serving with pasta or as an appetizer.
3. Put flour into a resealable bag and then add 2 rissoles at a time. Shake gently until they are coated. Brush off excess flour before cooking.
4. In a small amount of oil, cook on a hot plate on the barbie or indoors fry for about 20 minutes, turning and browning on all sides.
5. Variation:
6. Finely grate 1 carrot and 1 zucchini plus 1/2 finely grated red or green pepper. Cook until tender in 2 teaspoons of oil over medium heat. Let cool and then add into step 1.
