Pork Rissoles with Gravy, Roast Potato & Seasonal Veggies
Pork Rissoles with Gravy, Roast Potato & Seasonal Veggies
These pork rissoles are a proper comfort meal that’s simple, filling, and family-friendly. Juicy pork patties are gently bound with fresh breadcrumbs, egg, and cheese, then pan-fried until golden and served with a rich, peppery pan gravy made from the same skillet. It’s an old-school dinner that delivers big flavour without complicated steps.
Low-carb potatoes and pumpkin are partially microwaved to speed things up, then finished in the air fryer for crispy edges and fluffy centres. Steamed broccoli rounds out the plate with colour and freshness, making this a balanced, satisfying meal that works just as well midweek as it does for a relaxed weekend dinner.
