Aussie Meals - The mighty Rissole

People often say that Australia doesn't have a cuisine. However we actually do.

Australia is made of of hundreds of different nationalities and this mix of backgrounds provides a larger ingredients base and the construction of altered recipes.

Aussie cuisine is one of the world's best due to our mix of people.

Here's a take on the mighty Aussie rissole which I have served with lemon and oregano potatoes and steamed pumpkin.

500g minced beef regular
Quarter butternut pumpkin peeled and slice to your size preference (you can use your preferred pumpkin.
700g potatos cut to your liking (I used Red Royal)

Salt and pepper to your liking

2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

Directions

In a large bowl add the beef, onion, garlic, grated carrot, salt and pepper, cracked egg and tomato sauce and mix to combine ingredients. Add bread crumbs and continue to mix until all the liquid is dried up (may need to add more bread crumbs).

Scoop a hand full of mixture in your hand to desired size and form a thick pattie. (I made 8 large rissoles) set aside and prepare next food item.

To cook: heat fry pan on medium high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook each rissole for 3 – 4 minutes until caramslised.
