Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef
- 250 g Ground pork
- 100 g Breadcrumbs
- 50 g Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 100 g Mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
- 50 g All-purpose flour (for coating)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, minced garlic, parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Take a small handful of the mixture (about the size of a golf ball) and flatten it slightly in your palm.
Place a small cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of the meat mixture, then fold the edges around it to form a ball. Ensure the cheese is fully enclosed.
Repeat the process with the remaining meat mixture and mozzarella cubes until all the mixture has been used.
Place the all-purpose flour on a plate or shallow dish. Roll each rissole in the flour to coat lightly, shaking off any excess flour.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the rissoles in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the rissoles from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad or pasta.
