The story of how I discovered these delicious Pork, Apple and Caramelised Onion Rissoles is quite funny.
It all started from a cooking fail! I wanted to make sausages but failed! BUT the result tasted so delicious that I decided to cook the recipe the next day and recreate it into rissoles.
The pork, apple and caramelised onion go so well together. Served with mashed potatoes, greens and gravy makes it a match made in heaven!
Pork, Apple and Caramelised Onion Rissoles are a fantastic dish for any occasion. This tasty combination of savoury and sweet is sure to leave a lasting impression on your palate. Expertly combining pork mince with baked apples, caramelised onions and breadcrumbs, the rissoles provide a unique balance of saltiness, sweetness and crunch.
A classic accompaniment to these rissoles is creamy mashed potatoes or mashed butternut squash – both offer the perfect balance of texture and taste to complement this classic dish.
