You could cook your rissoles on the BBQ hot plate for the same amount of time!


Ingredients

Hand Cut Fries

  • 600g potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1cm fries
  • 2 teaspoons chip spice mix

Pork ‘N’ Apple Rissoles

  • 1 apple, grated
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 courgette, grated
  • 2 teaspoons pork spice mix
  • 2 spring onions, white part only, thinly sliced then roughly chopped
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon GF mustard (e.g. wholegrain, Dijon)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 450g pork mince

To Serve

  • ½ iceberg lettuce, separated into large pieces
  • 1 tomato, thinly sliced
  • ½ telegraph cucumber, cut in half lengthways and thinly sliced
  • GF tomato sauce or relish (optional)
  • GF mayonnaise
  • 2 spring onions, green part only

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium-high (if using). Prepare your vegetables. Toss potatoes with chip spice mix and a drizzle of oil on prepared tray. Season and roast for 25-30 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Turn once during cooking.
  2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium heat. Cook apple, carrot and courgette for 4-5 minutes, until softened but not coloured. Stir through pork spice mix and cook a further 30 seconds, until fragrant. Remove from heat and place in a large bowl to cool slightly.
  3. Add all remaining pork ‘n’ apple rissole ingredients to bowl with veggies and mix well using clean hands. Using a ¼ cup measure, shape mixture into patties, about 1cm-thick. Place on a plate or tray.
  4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium heat. Cook rissoles, in two batches, for about 4 minutes each side, until cooked through. Use a fish slice to push down on patties as they cook. Reduce heat if colouring too quickly. Set aside, covered to keep warm.
  5. Place lettuce, tomato and cucumber on a serving platter.
  6. To serve, fill a lettuce cup with pork ‘n’ apple rissoles and top with tomato and cucumber slices. Dollop over a little tomato sauce or relish (if using) and mayonnaise. Sprinkle with green part of spring onion and serve fries on the side.
