So for the first day of MoFo (can I sing this each day to the tune of the first day of Christmas?) I bring you vegan rissoles! Traditionally they are available filled with meat or cheese, and I made a cruelty-free cheese-style rissole for MoFo. You cannot live in Wales and not have had a rissole. They're bloody lush.
Ingredients
For the filling
2 large organic potatoes
A handful of grated or finely cubed cheezly (cheddar style)
A bunch of organic spring onions
1 tbsp chives
3tbsp nutritional yeast
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt & pepper to taste
For the coating
Cornflour
Almond milk
Natural breadcrumbs
Method
Chop, peel and boil your potatoes then mash when ready. Add a little margarine if you like. I didn't have any to hand though and they were still lovely. Set aside to cool then finely chop and sautee your spring onions but not to browning point.
Mix all the filling ingredients in a large bowl. Now you're ready to coat them (this is kinda messy).
Separate the cornflour, almond milk and breadcrumbs in to three different dishes making sure you have plenty of room to roll the balls around.
Form the rissole mixture into balls, roll first in the cornflour. followed by the almond milk (you might want to use a pastry brush for this to stop them getting soggy) followed by the breadcrumbs.
Once you've assembled your rissole balls they are ready to cook. Traditionally these are deep fried but I hate fried food so I oven baked mine. Be prepared for them to lose their shape if you bake them though. They should be ready when the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Enjoy your cheesy carby balls of goodness whilst they're still hot :)

Yum! I try to avoid frying too so oven baking rissoles works for me. Your MoFo theme is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing! I'm looking forward to your theme.
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing! I don't think I've ever seen these before, or at least recognised what they were. Yours is one of the themes I've been anticipating, so I'm looking forward to seeing what else you come up with!
ReplyDeleteCheesy carby balls of goodness - sounds like a winner to me :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! And I can't wait to learn all about Welsh food. I know nothing.
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh gosh I want these!
ReplyDeletelooks forward to seeing your welsh goodies - I am not that familiar with welsh food but love a good rissole
ReplyDeleteOh my, that looks scrumptious. If everything is going to be as good as this, I'm eager to see your following recipes!
ReplyDeleteIs it bad I was born in Wales, grew up in Wales, and still spend at least half the year there, and yet I've never had a rissole? My brother and Dad would love these, I think I might have to make them!
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I was born in Wales, grew up in Wales, and spend at least half of each year there and yet I've never eaten a rissole? I think my brother and Dad would love this, so I shall have to make it for them some time! Thanks for the recipe! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your theme! I know next to nothing about Welsh cooking so it's really interesting to learn. Plus give rissoles a try since they sound absolutely delicious. :)
