My friend Julie makes gravy with her rissoles and this is how she does it.

2 tbspns flour, 2 cups chicken stock, 1 tbspn tomato paste, mixed together in the pan the rissoles were cooked in. It's my new favourite thing! I love gravy!!

Tuna Rissoles/Patties/Balls/Cakes

Makes 10 small balls

Get This:

1 small can tuna
1 small can flavoured tuna (my favourite is sun dried tomato & basil)
1/4 brown onion finely chopped
1 egg
breadcrumbs
1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
salt & pepper
flour to coat
oil to shallow fry

Do This:

• Put drained tuna, onion, egg, sauce, salt & pepper in a mixing bowl.
• Add enough breadcrumbs so that the mixture holds together.
• Mix well with your hands (remember to remove rings!!).
• Roll into whatever size you like.
• Coat in flour.
• Shallow fry until golden brown all over.

OPTIONS

• onion can be grated (although it tends to turn into mush) or fried lightly first.
• add grated carrot, grated zucchini, frozen corn, fresh herbs or peas if you want to sneak some vegies into non-vegie eaters.
