    Jump to Recipe

    These Rissoles are juicy, tasty and flavorful appetizers. I made my beef Rissoles with onions, zucchini, carrot, ground beef and some herbs.

    They are delicious and super easy to make, plus they can also be made ahead and kept in the freezer to fry as needed.

    You can easily get frozen Rissoles from supermarkets, bakeries and along the streets. However, homemade rissoles are much healthier and fresh.

    I like to serve them with a spicy BBQ sauce, spaghetti or with fries. They also go so well with pasta with breadcrumbs or angel hair pasta.

    What Are Rissoles?

    They are delicious appetizers or side dish made from ground mince, mostly using beef but can also be made with chicken, turkey or lamb. These rissoles shaped like burger patties then baked or fried in a pan.

    They usually serve with ketchup, mashed potatoes or salad. What you use as filling with the mince is largely based on your preference.

    This juicy beef Rissoles are easy to make, tastes delicious and have the perfect texture. This dish is made with flavourful spices, juicy beef and veggies.

    The best part about this recipe is its versatility; you can use any veggies you desire. Using eggs and breadcrumbs lets the rissoles bind and giving the perfect golden brown texture.

    How To Make Beef Rissoles

    Mix onion, zucchini and carrot. Add in breadcrumbs.

    One: In a large bowl, grate the onion, zucchini, and carrot using a box grater, then add the breadcrumbs and mix well with a wooden spoon until combined.

    Mix in ground beef, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, oregano and thyme.

    Two: Add ground beef, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, oregano and thyme. Mix well until incorporated.

    Three: Now, scoop ¼ cup of the mixture put between your hands and form a patty.

    Heat the oil and fry the patties.

    Four: Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat, add the first patch of the patties in the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip them and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

    Five: Transfer theme into a serving dish lined with kitchen paper, garnish with some chopped parsley and serve with your favourite sauce.

    Top Tips

    • If you prefer the them a little crunchier, simply roll them in breadcrumbs before frying.
    • If your mixture is too loose, then add more breadcrumbs until you get the right texture.
    • You may use wholegrain mustard instead of Worcestershire sauce if you prefer.
    • It is easiest to shape the rissoles using wet hands, which helps bind all ingredients.
    • They should always be thoroughly cooked and should not be served raw. So, it is best to insert a skewer into the thickest part of the rissole to check if it’s ready to eat.
    • When cooking, do not press them flat as it will cause all those delicious tasty juices to run out.
    • Don’t add too many breadcrumbs as it may dry out the mixture. Just add enough of it for the best texture.
    • Rissoles may crack open when frying; to prevent this, you may dip them in cold water before rolling them.
    • Don’t miss out on the onions and zucchini as the juiciness and extra flavour comes from them.

    Add-Ins

    • Veggies: Beetroot, pumpkin mash, corn or green beans.
    • Fruits and dried fruits: Cranberry or raisins.
    • Nuts: Pistachio, walnut or pin nuts.
    • Herbs: Fresh basil, cilantro or parsley.
    • Spices: Cinnamon, red pepper flacks, turmeric or ginger.

    Can I Bake Rissoles?

    Yes, you can. To do so, spray a baking tray well with oil. Place the patties on the tray, and spray the top with oil. Bake at 200C/390F for 20 minutes, flip, then bake for another 5 minutes until golden.

    How To Bind All Ingredients Without Breaking?
