Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Lean ground beef
- 100 g Quinoa
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large Egg
- 50 g Oat bran
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Cook the quinoa by adding 100g of quinoa to 200ml of water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa has absorbed the water and is fluffy. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked quinoa, chopped onion, minced garlic, and egg.
Add the oat bran, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl. Mix everything well until completely combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round rissole, about 2 cm thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the rissoles to the pan, taking care not to overcrowd, and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the rissoles from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
