What Aussie mum hasn’t made rissoles before now? (If you have your hand up, you either just plain Un-Australian, or in fact, NOT an Australian!!) This makes enough to feed a small army…so be prepared to feed the neighbourhood, or just freeze for more than one assault on the little tackers appetites. They are quite delicious served as the meat in meat and three veg, or whip up a salad, put them in a wrap, throw them on the barbie and you are truly channelling your inner Aussie!
They are fantastic hot or cold, they are cheap and cheerful and first appeared in my book Nifty But Thrifty, we have a few copies left I believe, the most delicious book full of great recipes to keep the family and the bank balance happy.
