Rissoles are an Aussie classic family favourite. The humble rissole even made it onto the dinner table in one of my favourite Aussie movies: The Castle. Dale: What’s this darl? Sal: Rissoles. Dale: What are rissoles darl? Sal: Oh, everyone makes rissoles darl.
My recipe for rissoles is meat-free and bursting with juicy mushroom flavour. Unlike the traditional recipe mushrooms make this version free from Cholesterol, Saturated Fat and Sodium and a good source of Dietary Fibre.

What a great recipe packed from of mushroomy goodness. You are actually on-trend with this as there is a move to boost the flavour and health benefits of meat based dishes by simply blending more mushrooms into the mix. All mushrooms is even better for real mushroom lovers. If you are interested you can read more about it at the following link: http://www.powerofmushrooms.com.au/blendability/blendability-recipes/
Isn’t the coconut oil just pure saturated fat? Have yet to make this recipe but I wouldn’t use coconut oil & would leave out smelly garlic!
