Ingredients

Fries

  • 600g potatoes *
  • ½ cup grated cheese *

Rissoles

  • 450g chicken mince
  • Zest of ½ lemon
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 pack chicken seasoning
  • 2½ tsp GF soy sauce

  • 1 capsicum
  • 1 courgette

Steps

  1. Prep and cook fries Preheat oven to 220oC. Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium (if using). Cut potatoes into 1cm thick fries. Toss on a lined oven tray with a drizzle of olive oil and season. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until almost tender. Turn once during cooking. Sprinkle over cheese and return to oven for a further 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden.
  2. Make rissoles In a large bowl, combine all chicken rissole ingredients with ½ tsp salt. Season with pepper. Using 2 Tbsp amounts and clean, damp hands, shape into golf ball-sized balls then flatten slightly.
  3. Cook rissoles Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium heat. Cook rissoles for about 1 minute each side, until just browned. Place rissoles on another lined oven tray and finish cooking in the oven (on oven rack above fries) for 3-5 minutes, until cooked through. Alternatively, cook rissoles on BBQ hot plate for 3-4 minutes each side, or until fully cooked through.
  4. Prep salad Cut cherry tomatoes in half; roughly shred lettuce; finely dice capsicum; peel courgette into ribbons. Toss all in a bowl with and a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice. Season.
  5. Serve rissoles, fries and salad topped with a dollop of garlic aioli. Fussier foodies may prefer plain mayo.
