Recipe: Beef Rissoles (Croquetas)

Beef Rissoles (Croquetas)
(Cold Meat Cookery)

Leftover Lean Cold Roast Beef
To each 450g (1lb) of Meat allow:
340g (12oz) Breadcrumbs
1-2 Eggs
Savoury Herbs, chopped
1/2 tsp Lemon Peel, minced
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Parsley, to garnish

Mince the beef very finely, mix with the breadcrumbs, herbs, lemon peel and seasonings.

Make all into a thick pastry with 1 or 2 eggs.

Divide into balls or cones

Fry to a rich brown colour.

Garnish the dish with fried parsley and serve with some good brown gravy in a tureen.

Instead of garnishing with fried parsley, gravy may be poured in the dish, round the rissoles. If so, it will not be necessary to send any in a tureen.

Time: From 5 to 10 minutes, according to size.

Seasonable at any time.
