Tonight, as I had a whole lump of mince to use...... I made rissoles.


500g minced meat
1 cup chopped basil
1 small red onion, finely diced
1/2 cup chopped (Italian) parsley
1/2 cup grated cheese
salt'n pepper


Mix it all together in a bowl, and make into rissoles..... as big, or as
small as you want.


Fry as you would a steak (I like my rissoles medium rare..... and when
you use *good* mince, you can do this!!)........

and serve with either roasted garlic potato mash and steamed veges......
or some crisp mescalun and fresh tomato slices topped with some ripped
basil leaves and some baby bocinccini.


[Sigh!! The SO has cornered the leftovers *again* to take to work for
lunch........ looks like I have to forage for my own!!)


BTW, I've used the above recipe, and then (because we were having the
roasted garlic mash) after cooking the risoles, add some butter to the
pan, scraping all the 'juices'n dark bits' into the sauce....... add a
good splotch of Worcestishire(?) sauce, a half a handful of some chopped
fresh parsley, and a good dollop of cream.

Rissoles with a Diane sauce :-)
