Ingredients
- 500 grams beef mince (ground beef)

- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon tomato sauce (ketchup)
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 20 grams butter
- 2 teaspoons oil
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients apart from butter and oil in a bowl and mix well (use your hands!).
- Shape into about 10 rissoles with floured hands. Use a dessert spoon to flatten tops a little.
- Heat butter and oil in a frypan. Cook both sides of rissoles in frypan until browned and cooked through (about 4 minutes on each side)

Notes

- Freezing:
- Store uncooked or cooked rissoles in an airtight container for up to 6 weeks.

- Tips:
- If your rissoles fall apart during cooking, here are the most likely reasons why:- you omitted the egg (this ingredient is important to bind the rissoles)- the mixture was too dry or too moist (what breadcrumbs did you use? was the carrot too big?)- the heat was too high (meaning the rissoles are burned on outside and uncooked in the middle)- over-mixing or over-handling the mixture (this can cause the meat proteins to bind too tightly, creating a dense and crumbly texture)- not shaping the rissoles properly before cooking (shape the mixture into consistent-sized rissoles and smooth out any obvious cracks with your hands before cooking).
- To reduce the chance of this happening, you can also rest the rissole mixture in the fridge for about half an hour before rolling into rissoles.
