CHEESE AND POTATO RISSOLES



Cheese and Potato Rissoles image

These rissoles are something we used to have with our chips from the local fish and chip shop when we lived in south Wales. As they are unheard of in Canada, I thought I would share the recipe for others to experience great Welsh comfort food.

Time 2h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds potatoes, peeled
¼ cup butter
6 egg yolks
salt to taste
1 pinch ground white pepper, or to taste
10 ½ ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
½ large onion, diced
2 eggs
¼ cup water
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 cup soft bread crumbs, or as needed.
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and mash in the bottom of the pot until no lumps remain.
  • Put pot over low heat. Stir butter into the mashed potatoes; cook, stirring constantly, until the butter has melted and the potatoes are no longer moist. Spread potatoes into the bottom of a wide bowl and refrigerate until cooled completely, at least 30 minutes.
  • Beat egg yolks into cooled potatoes; season with salt and white pepper. Stir Cheddar cheese and diced onion into the potatoes. Shape potato mixture into tennis ball-sized spheres, arrange into a baking dish, and refrigerate until chilled completely through, at least 1 hour.
  • Beat eggs and water together in a bowl. Spread flour and bread crumbs into two separate wide bowls.
  • Gently roll potato balls in flour to coat and shake to remove excess flour. Dip each into the beaten egg, turning to coat. Press each egg-coated ball into bread crumbs, again turning to coat on all sides. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded balls onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Deep-fry potato balls in batches in hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add more oil and return to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) between batches. Drain fried balls on a plate lined with paper towel.

ITALIAN BEEF RISSOLES WITH FRESH TOMATO SALSA



Italian Beef Rissoles With Fresh Tomato Salsa image

Tasty rissoles for lovers of Mediterranean ingredients - capsicum, garlic, olives, basil - which I have adapted from a recipe in the November 2005 issue of the 'Australian Good Taste' magazine. It was accompanied by a delicious low-fat recipe for potatoes: Recipe #145705. In adapting this recipe, I have suggested making 12 rissoles rather than the 8 in the original recipe. This immediately makes serving sizes more versatile. If you are watching your calories and fat intake, have just ONE rissole and more of the salsa. Posted for the post ZWT, Healthy for the Holidays Challenge! The fat content is probably still a bit on the high side, but remember the calorie and fat content is for the rissoles and the salsa! If you are not interested in making the salsa, make 8 rissoles (instead of 12) to serve 4.

An old Aussie fav, the rissole, has been given a bit of a bashing. This updated version is one my entire family loved. It was inspired by a recipe seen in an Australian food mag but adapted to my families tastes.

RISSOLES



Rissoles image

This is an old classic Aussie meal. When I was growing up, we always had Rissoles and onion gravy at last once a week. Give it a try and let me if you like this old favourite. Cook time does not allow for cooking the gravy or the vegetables.

Categories     Meat

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 Rissoles

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs mincemeat (ground beef)
2 eggs
1 medium onion (chopped finely)
1 cup breadcrumbs (you may need more)
1/3 cup tomato sauce (ketchup)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon dried herbs (or fresh mixed herbs such as sage, parsley, thyme or what ever you have in the garden)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon mustard powder
2 tablespoons plain flour, for dusting the rissoles
2 tablespoons oil, the rissoles (for frying, you may need more oil. I use as little as possible)

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients together (except oil), this is best done with your hands.
  • Shape into 4 or 6 round balls and dust with the flour.
  • Heat the oil on high in a heavy based frying pan until the oil is very hot.
  • Place the Rissoles in the hot oil.
  • Don't over crowd your pan.
  • Make sure the Rissoles do not burn.
  • Turn the rissoles over when one side is browned and slightly crispy (make sure they don't burn).
  • Cook the other side the same way, turn the heat down to medium and cook through.
  • Depending on the thickness of the pan and the size of the rissoles, it may take about 3-4 minutes to cook the Rissoles on each side.
  • Do not over cook the Rissoles.
  • The cooking time would be similar to cooking American hamburgers.
  • Serve with brown meat gravy and mashed potatoes with minted peas.
