Rissoles

Rissoles are usually made from cooked lamb or beef. The meat is minced and mixed with other ingredients, which may include onions, breadcrumbs, garlic, eggs, herbs, and seasonings; the mixture is then divided and shaped into round cakes, coated in flour, and cooked, commonly by frying. Because they contain cooked meat that is handled and reformed after cooking, hygiene during preparation is important to avoid recontamination. Even shaping and controlled frying give a crisp coating and a thoroughly heated centre.
