Ingredients:
1 lb lamb mince1 cup scallions

Lamb and feta rissoles are a flavorful and savory dish that's perfect for any meal. These rissoles are simple to prepare and pair beautifully with a tangy tomato chutney. Whether you're cooking for family or guests, these mouthwatering rissoles are sure to impress and become a staple in your recipe collection.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb mince, chopped scallions, BBQ sauce, minced garlic, lightly beaten egg, breadcrumbs, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped basil. Mix everything together thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a rissole (a small, round, flat patty). Aim for about 8-10 rissoles, depending on your preferred size.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. If needed, lightly grease the pan with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
- Once the pan is hot, add the rissoles. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- In a small saucepan, combine the tomato sauce and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Remove the rissoles from the pan and let them rest on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the hot lamb and feta rissoles with a generous dollop of tomato chutney on the side. They pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
Tips:
- For juicier rissoles, avoid overmixing the lamb mince as it can make the meat tougher.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or some finely chopped chili peppers to the mixture.
- You can use fresh or dried basil, but fresh basil will give a more vibrant flavor.
- Make sure the rissoles are uniformly shaped and sized for even cooking.
- If the mixture is too wet to form into rissoles, add a bit more breadcrumbs until the texture is right.
- Serve the rissoles with a side of salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
