# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, add ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently by hand or with a spoon until evenly incorporated, ensuring not to overwork the mixture.
02 -
Divide mixture into 8–10 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into patties approximately 7.5 cm in diameter and 1.5 cm thick.
03 -
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place patties in the pan without overcrowding. Cook each side for 4–5 minutes, turning once, until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 71°C.
04 -
Remove cooked rissoles and set briefly on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve promptly with desired accompaniments such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or salad.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
For increased moisture and nutrition, add a tablespoon of grated carrot or zucchini to the mixture.
02 -
To freeze, shape patties and freeze in a single layer. Transfer to a freezer bag after solid, and cook from frozen, allowing additional cooking time.
03 -
Pair with sauces such as gravy, barbecue sauce, or tomato ketchup for added flavor.
