Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.

- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly.
- Add the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, spice mix, and bread crumbs to the bowl.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly using your hands until well combined. Ensure everything is well incorporated.
- With clean hands, shape the mixture into small patties, about the size of the palm of your hand (around 2-3 inches in diameter). You should get around 12-15 rissoles depending on the size.

- Once cooked, remove the rissoles from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite side dishes or dipping sauces.
