Sightly Devilish Aussie Beef Mince burgers

Rissole ingredients:

Serves 8-10 people

1 kilo of premium grade beef mince
2 onions
4 slices brown bread (a few days old)
4 tbsp. mixed fresh herbs, including parsley (2 tbsp.), sage 2 tbsp.), and 4 teaspoons chopped tarragon if you have it (it is a strong herb with great flavour) or use 1 tbsp. dried mixed herbs instead
4 tsps. Dijon mustard
1 tsp salt
ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 cloves garlic, squashed and finely chopped (optional)
2 beaten eggs
2 tablespoons grated carrot (optional) - great though if you are trying to encourage your children toe at more vegetables
2 tablespoons oil
1/4-1/2 cup flour

Method:

• Place onion, herbs, and bread in a food processor and process until finely chopped
• Add to the mince with the pepper, salt, sauces, beaten egg, carrot, and mustard
• Mix this all up in a large bowl with your clean hands until well combined 
• Form into even sized balls and flatten (or) use an egg ring to shape and flatten them uniformly
• Leave to rest on a plate in the refrigerator, covered in alfoil or cling wrap for at least an hour so that they firm up
• Remove from the refrigerator and dust with plain  flour
• Cook for about 8 minutes turning over halfway
• Drain on absorbent paper
• Heat oil in a fypan or on the BBQ and fry rissoles until they are cooked. They can be kept warm and covered  in the oven for a couple of hours before eating if this suits your agenda
