Ingredients
Scale
- 400 g (14.1 oz) beef mince
- 1 onion, grated
- 1 courgette, trimmed and grated
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 garlic clove, crushed or finely grated
- 50 g (1.8 oz) panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tsps dried mixed herbs
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsps vegetable oil
- Peas (optional)
- Mash (optional)
Instructions
- Mixture Preparation: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion, breadcrumbs, courgette, carrot, garlic, dried herbs, Worcestershire sauce, egg, salt, and pepper. Thoroughly blend ingredients using hands to ensure even distribution of flavors and consistent texture.
- Patty Shaping: Craft 14-16 uniformly sized, slightly flattened mini patties, maintaining equal thickness to guarantee consistent cooking. Chill patties in refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up and prevent potential disintegration during cooking.
- Cooking Process: Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low temperature. Carefully arrange patties in the pan, allowing each side to sear for 3-4 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to verify internal temperature reaches 65 degrees Celsius, ensuring complete and safe culinary preparation.
Notes
- Chill Before Cooking: Refrigerating patties for 15 minutes helps bind ingredients, preventing crumbling and maintaining shape during cooking.
- Mix Thoroughly: Hand-mix ingredients gently but completely to distribute seasonings and ensure consistent flavor in every bite.
- Control Heat Carefully: Use medium-low temperature to achieve even browning without burning the delicate rissole exterior.
- Check Internal Temperature: Always use a meat thermometer to verify 65°C (149°F) for safe consumption and perfectly cooked meat.
