Ah rissoles. I haven't heard of them since I was at school. We used to call them grissoles. I'm sure that your ones are much nicer though.

with a vegetable risotto?

Gonegirl rissoles are more like beefburgers than meatballs.

Thanks MiniMoon I will try to persuade him!

I like rissoles with either mashed potato, boiled potato or chips. We used to have them at school for lunch.

No!!! Don't fire missiles at anyone, rissoles would be kinder.?

I would add a touch of cinnamon to your missiles along with the turmeric and cumin.
This recipe for vegetable cous cous is lovely.
I bet Mr P would like it, my DH does .

Are rissoles the same as meatballs? We had those for dinner with spaghetti and tomato sauce.

Evening, & usual good wishes.

Now, could do with a bit of inspiration.

I had some meat left over from a lovely rib of beef, have put it through the mincer, it is now in the freezer.

Will be making rissoles, adding some onion and probably turmeric and cumin (have done this before, gives a sort of Middle East type flavour)

Problem is, what to serve with them confused

I think couscous, but Mr P isn't that keen on it.

Any suggestions?
