Grass Fed Beef Rissoles

Good old rissoles!  A wholesome, satisfying mid-week meal.  I love a good quantity of herbs in mine and with grass fed, chemical free mince, they’re a nourishing meal choice. Serve with creamy mash and steamed greens.  Leave the breadcrumbs out for a grain free option – they’ll just not hold together quite as well, but will still be fine.

Whilst grating the onions might be a bit hard on the eyes, it really creates a much better rissole than dicing the onions, whereby you’ll end up with small pieces of uncooked onion in the rissoles.  For extra vegetables, you can add in some grated carrot and/or zucchini.  For a lovely juicy rissole, be sure not to overcook them.

Derek stepped inside yesterday (as I was photographing these in the last light of the day), and exclaimed, “Yum! That smells delicious!” So, you don’t have to necessarily do something complex or fancy to really enjoy a meal.

I hope you’ll enjoy cooking these rissoles.

Ingredients

• 750g Conscious Farmer beef mince
• 1 brown onion – grated
• 4 good sized sprigs thyme, leaves stripped
• ¼ cup parsley, chopped finely
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup of loosely packed fresh breadcrumbs
• Sea salt, ground black pepper

Method

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.  Spoon out 1/3 cup portions and shape into rissoles – I made 10 rissoles using the 1/3 cup measure.

Take a pan or BBQ plate and heat to a medium temperature.  Add olive oil to the pan or plate and brown rissoles on one side, flip and brown until cooked through. Serve with creamy potato mash and steamed greens.  I love them with a bit of home-made tomato sauce too.

Our chemical free, grass fed beef mince is available in any one of our beef hampers.  Sometimes we have extra mince at the end of packing our hampers each month; we may be able to add some extra packs to your hamper if you’d like it – just place a request in the comments when you order.

Enjoy! Kirrily
