Ingredients

  • Ground beef
  • Onion, finely grated or minced
  • Garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • Breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Oil for frying
  • Butter
  • Brown mushrooms, sliced
  • Garlic, minced
  • Onion, finely chopped
  • Flour
  • Beef stock or broth
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix all the rissole ingredients until just combined. Form the mixture into palm-sized patties.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook rissoles for 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté the onions and mushrooms until golden and tender.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to form a roux.
  6. Gradually pour in beef stock while stirring to avoid lumps.
  7. Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, then simmer until the gravy thickens.
  8. Return the rissoles to the pan and let them simmer in the gravy for a few minutes.
  9. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Add a cube of cheese in the center of each rissole for a gooey surprise.
  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and cornstarch for a gluten-free version.
  • A splash of cream in the gravy creates a richer texture.
  • Mix in grated vegetables like zucchini or carrot for extra moisture and nutrition.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of water or stock to maintain juiciness.
