minutesIngredients
500 g lean pork mince
1 pkt French onion soup mix
1/2 cup spring onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 garlic clove, crushed
oil for frying
Directions
- Prepare Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the pork mince, French onion soup mix, spring onion, breadcrumbs, egg, and garlic. Mix well with your hands until thoroughly combined.
- Shape Rissoles: Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties, roughly 2cm thick.
- Sear: Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the rissoles for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels briefly before serving.
Notes
- Best served with: Mashed potatoes and steamed greens, or a fresh side salad.
Keep moist: Do not overcook; pork rissoles are best when cooked just until browned and firm to touch.
Make ahead: You can prepare the mixture and refrigerate for 10 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape better or you can freeze them for later.
