A rissole is bigger than a meatball, smaller than a burger. Inside are soft and sweet onions, garlic, herbs and breadcrumbs. I’ve added a dollop of honey and mustard to create more juicy flavour! These pork rissoles remind me of American style meatloaf, but mini, individual versions for your own plate. Everything is right with that in my world.
Pork and fennel seed are one of my favourite combinations! Fennel is the key ingredient in those amazing Italian sausages that make them taste so delicious. I almost always put pork with fennel, I just can’t resist! I also added a dollop of grain mustard and worcestershire sauce, which always brings out the flavour in meat. First, I sautéed a chopped onion in some oil until soft and translucent.
Then, I added all the filling ingredients to the rissole mix, and mixed well with my hands. Then divided the mixture into 8 small burger shapes. Sometimes rissoles have an oblong shape, like an egg.
These rissoles are so juicy. Like a cross between a meatball and a burger – who could say no? In this recipe, I cooked these on the BBQ grill for 7-10 minutes. However you could also pan fry them for a few minutes and and then finish in the oven until cooked through.
I served the pork rissoles with cauliflower cheese casserole and some buttery peas with mint. A simple and delicious family dinner.
