Instructions:
- Preparation:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, soya sauce, egg, chives, water, and dry sherry. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, using 1 1/2 tablespoons of soup mix.
- Form Rissoles:
- Shape the mixture into patties, forming 6-8 rissoles depending on your desired size.
- Cook Rissoles:
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the rissoles to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Set Aside:
- Once cooked, remove the rissoles from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Prepare Sauce:
- In the same pan, add the water and any remaining soup mix to deglaze the pan, removing any sediment. Stir in the dry sherry and simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Finish with Sour Cream:
- Add the sour cream to the sauce, stirring until well combined and heated through.
- Serve:
- Spoon the sauce over the cooked rissoles and serve hot.
Freezing Instructions:
- To Freeze Uncooked Rissoles:
- Form the rissoles as directed and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flash freeze the uncooked patties until firm.
- Once frozen, transfer the rissoles to a labeled ziplock bag, removing as much air as possible before sealing. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To Cook Frozen Rissoles:
- Thaw the rissoles overnight in the refrigerator.
- Follow the cooking instructions from step 3 onwards, ensuring the rissoles are fully cooked before serving.
Tips:
- For a twist on traditional flavors, consider adding minced garlic or finely chopped onions to the rissole mixture.
- Serve the rissoles with a side of mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
- Customize the seasoning to your taste preferences by experimenting with different herbs and spices.
- To save time on busy weeknights, prepare a double batch of rissoles and freeze the extras for future meals.
