Ingredients:
For the Rissoles:
- 500g chicken mince
- 1 small onion, finely grated
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 small carrot, grated
- 1/4 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
For Serving (optional):
- Steamed rice or mashed potatoes
- Green salad or sautéed vegetables
Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken mince, grated onion, garlic, carrot, chopped apricots, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Mix everything well with clean hands until the mixture is evenly combined.
- Shape the mixture into small palm-sized rissoles (you should get about 8).
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook the rissoles for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan—cook in batches if needed.
- Drain on paper towels and let rest for a minute before serving.
- Serve warm with your choice of sides. The natural sweetness of the apricots pairs beautifully with a fresh salad or fluffy rice.
