Robust Rissoles with Mashed Potatoes and Sriracha Gravy

A delicious and wholesome meal.

The tip is to add onions for fantastic rissoles. I used chili in this recipe to complement the sriracha. You can add things like mushroom, chili, garlic, even veggies like carrot or peas. I repeat, always add onion, even for plain rissoles, as it adds texture and taste.

My secret way to cook rissoles.

They pair great with mashed potatoes and gravy, even with some fries or veggies. You can save some rissoles and have them on a sandwich the next day. For Chef’s Secret Rissole Sandwich. CLICK HERE:

2 Chillies. Finely Diced

Mashed Potatoes

500 Grams Potatoes, Peeled and Rough Cubes

200 Millilitres Water

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

Finely dice the onion and chilies. Add the eggs. Add the beef mince (ground beef). Mix the rissole ingredients with your hands to fully combine. Roll them into balls about 100g. Make sure they are nice and tight.

Cover two plates with flour. Add 4 rissoles to each plate. Coat the rissoles in flour.

Peel and roughly cut the potatoes into eighths and place them in a pot with water to boil. Once the water boils, turn the heat down to medium-low. Cook for 30 minutes until the potatoes are very soft

Fill a large frypan with oil so it just covers half the rissole. Heat the oil to medium/high heat. Add the rissoles. Bubbling is normal. If they are cooking too fast, adjust the heat. After about 10 minutes, turn them over. You want to cook for roughly 10 minutes each side.

Drain the rissoles. Meanwhile, once the potatoes are fully cooked, drain. Mash with milk and butter. For this recipe, I use this brand of instant gravy and sriracha. Cook the gravy according to packet instructions, then add the sriracha. Mix it through.

In a bowl or on a plate, add the mashed potato. Make a well in the middle of the potato. Add your rissoles and pour as much gravy as you like over the top. Enjoy!
