Recipes - Cheesy chicken rissoles

Cheesy chicken rissoles

 

Ingredients

500g            Chicken mince
1                   Zucchini, grated
1                   Carrot, grated
1                   Onion, finely chopped
2                   cloves of garlic, finely chopped
150g            Mushrooms, finely chopped
1                   Egg
3/4 cup       Breadcrumbs
1 tbs             dried herbs (parsley or mixed). Fresh would be better, I just didn't have any
2 tbs            Mayonnaise (whole egg mayo is best)
1 tsp            Maggi seasoning (optional)
6 rashers     Bacon (optional)









Method

1. Put all ingredients  (except bacon if using) in a bowl and mix until combined. Roll into 12-24 rissoles (the number/size is up to you. The size I have made, when flattened on a BBQ plate, are a great size for smaller bread rolls).
* If you are using the bacon: Wrap a bacon rasher around each rissole and secure with a toothpick. I didn't do it this time as I made smaller rissoles and the bacon would have been too much. It is best done is you are making the bigger size










2. Heat BBQ plate on high until hot. Reduce heat to medium. Flatten rissoles and cook 5 minutes each side or until cooked through.
3. Place on bread rolls and add whatever salad veg suits you (I do tomato, baby spinach leaves, cucumber and beetroot)


 

Meal Plan June 10

So this is what I am making this week

Monday
Home made pizza. there are 4 of us in the house and we all like different toppings on our pizzas. My husbands pizza is usually overflowing. I tend to do lots of veg and the 2 boys like meat, meat and more meat.
However, they must follow my one dinner rule - they must have 3 vege's each night. They get around this by eating some pizza toppings raw before as we make the pizza. I'm happy with that.
We tend to have ham, maybe salami, and some cooked chicken fillet on offer in the way of meat.
The veg we all choose from is capsicum, onion, baby spinach leaves, tomato, sun dried tomato, mushrooms and beetroot. YES, beetroot. If you haven't tried it you really should
The boys and my husband also add lightly scrambled egg.

Tuesday


Slow cooked beef roast.

Essentially I just buy a beef roast (a good quality one, not a fatty one) and throw it in the slow cooker with about half a cup of red wine or beef stock. If I am feeling like it I may also add bay leaves to the pot or spread some Dijon mustard on the roast too. I never bother to pre-brown my meat and it turns out fine. If I get the roast on in the morning I just leave it on slow all day. At some point in the afternoon (depending on when I get home) I might throw in some chopped carrot and chopped potatoes.
Around 15 minutes before serving I put the roast and veg (if veg have been slow cooked) in the oven at 160 degrees and make gravy out of the juices in the slow cooker.
I usually throw another 1 or 2 veg in the mix depending on what I have - either roast pumpkin, or frozen peas or a salad.
It couldn't be easier really and the meat is so tender that I don't get any complaints from the boys who "don't like chewy meat"

Wednesday
Chicken burgers
Wow, I am slack on photos this week.
I tried to find a recipe that I like but nothing compares to what my tried and tested recipe is for chicken burgers. So I am aiming to photo my burger and upload at a later date.

Which reminds me, I really, really want to have tabs on my blog like a recipe tab and a meal plan tab rather than all my posts just in one big line.
Can anyone help me work that out???

Make sure that you make the sauce as well for this one. I omit the chillis (Husband and I love them but they are not a hit with the boys; too spicy) and in their place I add red capsicum and red onion.


Friday
Good ole Spag Bol. Can't go wrong with that one.
No photo again but it will be on my to do list....

Have a great week.
