Tips to Make Homemade Beef Rissoles

1. Use day-old bread for breadcrumbs—makes a difference in texture!

4. Want a zesty kick? Add a teaspoon of mustard or hot sauce!
5. Keep it juicy by not overcooking; nobody likes dry beef rissoles!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try making your rissoles vegan by swapping the beef with lentils and the egg with a flaxseed mix (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water). You can even spice it up by adding Bell peppers or chili flakes for a little kick!
