This is a dish which is easy to make and easy on the back pocket. It can be grilled on the barbeque or pan fried. Serves 4 Ingredients Meatballs 500g (1 Pound) Ground Beef 1 Large Onion Grated 2 Garlic Cloves Grated or Minced 1 Small Green or Red Chilli Finely Diced 1 Tbsp. Fresh Mint Leaves Chopped 2 Tsp. Cumin 2 Tsp. Sweet Paprika ½ Tsp. Ground Ginger or 1 Tsp. Grated Fresh Ginger 1 Egg Lightly Beaten ½ Cup Quick Oats or Breadcrumbs Pinch of Salt Method First grate the onion and garlic into a large bowl then add the rest of the ingredients. To save time add the egg directly to one side of the bowl then use your fingers to mix the yolk with the white before mixing with the rest of the ingredients. Use your hands to combine the ingredients together. Roll about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mixture between your palms then set on a plate. They should be 2 inches in diameter by 1 inch thick and will make 10 rissoles. You can make these any size you want just increase the cooking time for larger rissoles. Cover then store in the fridge until you are ready to cook them. Heat a little oil in a frypan or grill over medium heat. Add the Moroccan spiced rissoles then cook for 10 minutes or until golden brown underneath. Turn then cook for 8 to 10 minutes more or until brown. Set rissoles on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil then serve. Tip Serve with aioli or old-fashioned tomato relish. If you like it hot, go for the red chilli and if you like it spicy increase the spices by a half. Quick oats will give meat a good flavour but will give a denser rissole. If you like a lighter patty go with the breadcrumbs.
