Rissoles

Jewelies's Note:

A friend gave me this recipe years ago. I'm not sure where it orginally came from. The Australian rissole is generally made from minced meat and pan fried, without a pastry covering, but sometimes with breadcrumbs. This recipe is suitable to freeze and for OAMC. Thanks to Tish I have added the directions.

This was good but super salty, and I am a salt addict so that's saying a lot. Thanks for posting!

Made this week and we enjoyed. I do agree it is very salty. I make my own soup mix with half the salt & used it but still need to use low sodium soy I thnk. Will make again.

A lo-carb diet is the only one that I can make work for me, so I am always on the look-out for additional recipes to add to my lo-carb cookbook. I made this one last night WOW! As recommended by some other reviewers, I increased the water to 1 cup and didn't use the Sherry. I didn't have chives, so I slivered green onions instead. At the end, the sauce didn't thicken up, so I added a small amount of arrowroot, the lowest carb thickener I can find. Great flavor and wonderful sauce!
