1 garlic clove

1 x 15ml spoon capers

225g lean lamb mince

2 x 15ml spoons tomato sauce

25g breadcrumbs

Black pepper

1 egg

2 x 15ml reduced fat mayonnaise

2 x 15ml spoon tomato sauce

1 x 5ml spoon sweet chilli sauce

Equipment

Method

  1. Pre-heat the grill.

  3. Finely chop the capers.
  4. Mix the garlic, capers, lamb, tomato sauce, a teaspoon of the breadcrumbs and few twists of black pepper together.
  5. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.
  6. Shape each portion into a rissole (roll into a ball and then flatten slightly).
  7. Beat the egg in a small bowl.
  8. Spread the remaining breadcrumbs evenly on a plate.
  9. Dip the rissoles into the beaten egg and then the breadcrumbs.
  10. Place the rissoles onto the grill pan and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side, until the juices run clear.

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.
