Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 500 grams (1.1 pounds) ground beef
- 1 egg
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Binding and Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, egg, Worcestershire sauce, chopped parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blending all ingredients until uniformly mixed.
- Gently form the meat mixture into compact, palm-sized patties, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat, drizzling with olive oil to create a light, even coating.
- Carefully place rissoles into the heated skillet, cooking for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side until a rich golden-brown exterior develops and internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Transfer cooked rissoles onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and allow brief resting.
- Plate the rissoles alongside creamy mashed potatoes, crisp garden salad, or accompany with a complementary dipping sauce for an enhanced culinary experience.
Notes
- Choose high-quality ground beef with some fat content to keep rissoles moist and flavorful.
- Avoid overmixing the meat mixture to prevent tough, dense rissoles that lose their tender texture.
- For gluten-free option, swap breadcrumbs with almond meal or gluten-free breadcrumbs to maintain binding.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like thyme, rosemary, or fresh chives to create unique flavor profiles.
