Chicken rissoles


It's a miracle! Finally, a food that pleased all members of the family dinner eating club! And it was almost an accident - one of those nights where, at 5pm, I still had no idea what dinner would be, Ginger Ninja had to be at flute, and The Little Prince and Ginger Rose were very high needs. Out of desperation, Google, and the only package of unfrozen meat bought at Aldi earlier in the week on impulse came - chicken rissoles!

Mix 500gm chicken mince, one grated onion, one peeled (to hide the green bits) and grated large hunk of zucchini (about 1 1/2 cups full), some leftover wholemeal breadcrumbs and an egg. Form into patties and coat in a mixture of sesame seeds and wholemeal flour. Fry in olive oil then leave in a hot oven until everybody's ready to eat. Simple but effective!

As usual, more of the peas were eaten frozen than cooked...

Ohh great recipe idea! Will be trying those--especially if I can just make and freeze them. Who's the frozen pea eater in the house? Nicholas LOVES to just have his peas frozen instead of cooked....

I think they'll freeze well! Thanks for the idea!

And they ALL prefer their peas frozen. I pretend to care ;).
