Chicken Rissoles

I don't know about you, but whenever I hear the word 'Rissoles' I can't help but say out loud; "Whata call that luv?" from the hilarious Aussie flick, The Castle.
None the less, they certainly are an Aussie fav.


So, today, we thought we'd share with you our ridiculously easy recipe for Chicken Rissoles ("They're Rissoles luv") using our LFGF Chicken Seasoning mix.




Ingredients:


500g chicken mince
1/4 Cup of LFGF Chicken Seasoning mix
1 Carrot
3 finely chopped shallots


Method:


1. Blend all the ingredients well together.


2. Shape into balls the size of a small apple. This should make around 8 rissoles.


3. Shallow fry for about 20 mins, turning every few mins to ensure they are brown on all sides.


4. Eat! Serve with a salad or vegies. 


**Alternative may be to slice rissoles and place on a LFGF tortilla (see our recipe for instructions on how to make), along with some with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado and gluten free mayonnaise, or whatever ingredients you would like to add!


Enjoy.
