Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken mince
- 100 grams roasted peppers, diced from a jar, preserved in oil
- 150 grams cheddar cheese, grated
- 50 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley or 2 tablespoon fresh, chopped
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic or garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- few grinds black pepper
- oil for frying
Instructions
- Drain the roasted peppers and dice them into 1cm cubes. Don't worry about the excess oil clinging to the peppers, it adds to the flavour and moisture.
- Add the chicken mince, roasted peppers, grated cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl.
- Using your hands, loosely mix the ingredients until evenly combined. Avoid compressing the mixture, keep it loose.
- Form the mixture into small patties about 1.5 cm thick. For precision, use roughly 100g portions to make about 8 rissoles.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan.
- Fry 4-5 rissoles at a time over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes per side until well browned and cooked through. Keep the lid on for even cooking and to avoid splatters.
- Remove the first batch from the pan and repeat with the remaining rissoles. Enjoy them hot with your favourite sauce and a crisp green salad.

Notes

- Turn them over halfway.
