Mrs Neumann's Famous Rissoles
This is one of my sister, Pauline Neumann's creations. My sister is an excellent cook - much better than me!
But like me she is for ever fiddling with ingredients.
Neither of us can resist fiddling with perfectly good
recipes. Sometimes our fiddling improves the recipe
but, quite honestly, sometimes we end up making a mess of
things.
Pauline would laugh if she read this last sentence.
She would jokingly insist that she only ever makes
things better. This is one of her best recipes and I
don't think any of us would let her start fiddling with this
one.
The links immediately below are
not my recipes but you may find them interesting
anyway.

Ingredients:
500 gm (1 pound) of beef mince
1 large onion, chopped finely
1 teaspoon Bonox
1 cup of cooked rice
Garlic salt to taste
1 egg, beaten
Method:
Mix all ingredients together well. Shape into
rissoles and cook gently in non-stick fry pan. If you
don't have a non-stick pan then use two teaspoons of oil to
cook the rissoles in. I like to cook these fairly
slowly to ensure the meat on the inside is fully cooked.
Turn over half way through cooking.
Notes:
Bonox is concentrated beef extract.
I often substitute turkey mince for beef (trying to keep fat
and cholesterol to a minimum) and when I do this I always
find that I don't need to use the egg. The softer
turkey mince seems to stick everything together extra well
and the egg becomes unnecessary...........you see what I
mean about fiddling with recipes, don't you!
Food Facts:
Onions are high in energy and have good amounts of B6,
B1, and Folic acid in them. They contain chemicals
which fight free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals
cause disease and destruction in our cells. Onions
have anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties
in them. These properties are most potent when the
onion is eaten raw. Onions raise the levels of
beneficial HDL cholesterol and they lower the levels of the
bad LDL cholesterol.
