Top tips

·  Serve as a snack with toasted pitta bread, tomato dip and salad.

·  Try adding small pieces of vegetables such as grated carrot or courgette to the rissole mixture.

·  Keep the grill temperature on a moderate heat to allow the rissoles to cook all the way through, without charring the surface.

Did you know?

·  Radiant heat is the method of heat transfer when grilling.
