Ingredients
1 medium brown onion, grated
1 medium carrot, grated
1 small zucchini, grated
120 g (1 cup) cheddar cheese, grated
500 g chicken mince
45 g (3/4 cup) panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 tbsp chives or parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- Grate the onion, carrot, zucchini, and cheese. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the chicken mince, breadcrumbs, egg, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined and the mixture holds together.
- Form the mixture into small patties (about 12–14) and flatten slightly.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook the rissoles for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through in the center.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite sauce or sides.
Notes
Squeeze excess moisture from grated vegetables to help the rissoles hold their shape.
Add Dijon mustard or paprika for extra flavor.
Substitute cheddar with mozzarella or parmesan for a different cheese note.
Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes instead of frying if preferred.
