Lemon and mint chicken rissoles
Perfect served with salad, in a burger or even with pasta, these rissoles are as healthy as they are delicious.
Ingredients:
- 800g chicken mince
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 lemon, finely grated rind, juice
- 1 egg
- 1 cup stale breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- ¼ cup finely chopped mint leaves
- Salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Method:
1. In a bowl, combine chicken, garlic, lemon zest, egg, breadcrumbs, cumin and mint leaves. Season to taste.
2. Now forming the rissoles is messy work so wash your hands and keeping them damp, thoroughly mix until well combined and sticky. Keeping hands damp, divide mixture into eight rissoles.
3. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat; cook rissoles for four to five minutes each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
