Ingredients
  

  • 1 onion, brown grated or diced finely
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 1 zucchini grated
  • cup oats, rolled
  • 750 g beef, mince extra-lean
  • 1 egg
  • 4 clove garlic crushed
  • 2 tsp  thyme, dried
  • 2 tsp  oregano, dried
  • 2 tsp  smoked paprika, spice
  • 1 tsp  salt and pepper
  • 2 tsp  worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp oil, olive extra virgin
  • ½ tsp hot cayenne pepper, spice optional

Instructions
 

  • Place the onion, zucchini and carrot in a bowl. Add the oats and mix well. Let the oats absorb any liquid from the vegetables.
  • Add in the beef mince, egg, garlic, thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well with your hands. Ensure all ingredients are incorporated properly.
  • Scoop out roughly ¼ cup of mixture out of the bowl and form a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture until you have about 18 rissoles, spread them out on a large flat surface and don’t stack them on top of each other. Your rissoles should hold together.
  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the rissoles in batches of 3. Cook them roughly 4 minutes on each side or until dark and slightly crispy. Take care when you flip them over as they might break.
  • Once cooked transfer them to a plate.
