Ingredients

• 500 g Ground beef
• 250 g Ground pork
• 100 g Breadcrumbs
• 50 g Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 Eggs
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Fresh basil, finely chopped
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 100 g Mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
• 50 g All-purpose flour (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, minced garlic, parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 2

Take a small handful of the mixture (about the size of a golf ball) and flatten it slightly in your palm.

Step 3

Place a small cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of the meat mixture, then fold the edges around it to form a ball. Ensure the cheese is fully enclosed.

Step 4

Repeat the process with the remaining meat mixture and mozzarella cubes until all the mixture has been used.

Step 5

Place the all-purpose flour on a plate or shallow dish. Roll each rissole in the flour to coat lightly, shaking off any excess flour.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the rissoles in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the rissoles from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad or pasta.
