500g Sausage mince

Instructions

Pop all the ingredients in a large bowl.
Using your hands, mix everything thoroughly, to ensure constant consistency.
Divide the mince mixture into 12 even portions and shape your rissoles. I kind of throw them back and forth between each hand to compress the meat and shape them into a ball
Lightly tap each rissole to give a slightly flat surface on the top of each rissole for even cooking.
On the stovetop, heat a frypan to medium heat with a teaspoon of oil in it. Put a few rissoles in the pan (be sure not to overcrowd it!) and let the cook 5-7 minutes depending on size.
Turn the rissoles over and cook the other side for another 5 minutes. By this time they should be cooked throughout, have a bit of a cooked crust on both the top and bottom as well as be nice and juicy on the inside.
Remove from the heat and serve!

Notes

Don’t be tempted to flatten your rissole. They are not burger patties and you are squeezing out all of the juiciness! Rissole should not be flat but a kind of small tennis ball that have a flattened surface on both the top and bottom from the cooking. Mine normally sit around 4cm high with a diameter of 8cm.

Can you make these rissoles ahead of time? Heck yeah you can! Make them up to step 3 , then pop them into a sealed container for a day or two in the fridge. When it’s time to cook, just remove them from cold storage and continue with step 4 of the instructions.

To make your own breadcrumbs, pop a couple of slices of day-old bread in a food processor and pulse until you have breadcrumbs!
