They are perfect for any occasion, offering a delicious blend of aromatic herbs, zesty lemon, and savory olives all combined with mouth-watering lamb mince and feta cheese. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or looking for a unique family meal, Greek rissoles are sure to impress.
- Use fresh ingredients wherever possible, especially for the lamb mince and feta cheese to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Chop the olives finely so they integrate smoothly into the rissoles and don’t overpower the other ingredients.
- Ensure the lemon zest is finely grated to evenly distribute the citrus flavor throughout the rissoles.
- Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly to avoid overworking the meat, which could make the rissoles tough.
- Chill the mixture for 30 minutes before shaping the rissoles to make them easier to handle and help them hold their shape during cooking.
- Cook the rissoles over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and remain juicy inside without burning the exterior.
- Serve the rissoles with a side of tzatziki sauce for an authentic Greek experience.
