This simple yet flavorful recipe combines ground beef with aromatic spices and herbs, creating a delicious and satisfying dish that pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, spice mix, beaten egg, and bread crumbs.
- Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions, depending on your preferred size (around 8-10 portions for standard-sized rissoles).
- Roll each portion into a ball, then gently flatten it with your hands to form a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, place the rissoles in the skillet. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook each rissole for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned on the outside and cooked through on the inside. The internal temperature should reach at least 160°F (71°C).
- Transfer the cooked rissoles to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Choose ground beef with an 80/20% lean-to-fat ratio to ensure your rissoles are juicy and flavorful.
- Finely chop the onion and garlic to ensure they blend well with the ground beef and distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Allow the bread crumbs to soak up any excess moisture from the beef mixture for improved texture.
- If the mixture feels too wet to shape into patties, add a little extra bread crumb to help bind it.
- Refrigerating the formed rissoles for about 30 minutes before cooking can help them hold their shape better during frying.
- Cook the rissoles over medium heat to avoid burning the outside while ensuring the inside cooks thoroughly.
By following these steps and tips, you can create delicious beef rissoles that are sure to please family and friends. Serve them with your favorite sides and enjoy a comforting, hearty meal that's reminiscent of simpler times. Happy cooking!
