A RISSOLE is a type of savory patty made from minced meat, usually beef or pork, and other ingredients such as onions, herbs, and spices. It is usually shaped into a ball or oval shape and then fried or baked. The term 'RISSOLE' comes from the French word rissoler, which means 'to fry in fat'. The Ball of Minced Meat is a variation of the RISSOLE, where the minced meat is shaped into a ball before being fried or baked.
