What is a Rissole?

A rissole is a small croquette, enclosed in pastry or rolled in breadcrumbs, then usually baked or deep fried. A little bit like a more sophisticated (and we think much better tasting!) Findus crispy pancake.

Ingredients

4 tbsp oil
1 kilo sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
2 400g tins Suma kidney beans, squished but not pureed
2 small red chilies, very finely chopped, including pips
2 tsp Suma cumin powder
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
350g smoked cheddar, grated
175g wholemeal breadcrumbs, fresh not dried
40g fresh coriander, chopped

For the coating:

3-4 eggs, lightly beaten
1175g breadcrumbs, fresh not dried

Method

Roast the sweet potatoes in half the oil at 190ï¿½ for approx 20 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, in the rest of the oil, saute the onions until transparent. Add the garlic, chilies and cumin and cook gently for a further couple of minutes.
Drain the excess oil from the sweet potatoes and discard.
Add sweet potatoes, cheese, breadcrumbs and kidney beams to onion and spice mixture.
Mix well and allow to cool.
Form in to firm balls the size of a satsuma.
Dip in the beaten egg and roll in breadcrumbs. Reshape into a small burger.
We then gently shallow fry these to order in about 5 - 10 minutes, but they also work well in a pre-heated oven at 200ï¿½ for about 20-30 minutes, turning once.
