Rissoles are a very popular dish in Malta, as they can be vegetarian, chicken, meat or fish.
Ingredients
50g wholemeal breadcrumbs
4 tbsp skim milk
250g chicken mince
½ tsp mixed herbs
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 egg
400ml chicken stock
400g tomatoes, peeled and diced
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 bay leaves
100g rice
Parsley to garnish
Preparation
Mix breadcrumbs and milk in a bowl. Add chicken mince, mixed herbs, garlic and egg. Mix well and let the mixture rest before forming the rissoles.
In a saucepan, cook the chicken stock, tomatoes, tomato paste and bay leaves on moderate heat until boiling.
Add rice to the saucepan, mix well, cover and cook for another 5 minutes.
Form the rissoles (an ice-cream scoop is an easy way to create each rissole for a consistent size), add to sauce, and simmer for 15 minutes, until rissoles are cooked.
Garnish with parsley. Serve with steamed green vegetables.

Hot Tips
Floury vs. waxy potatoes
Waxy potatoes tend to hold their shape and remain firm and compact when boiled. Floury potatoes become fluffy and airy inside and are best used for baking, roasting, mashing and deep-frying. Due to their low sugar content they tend to fall apart when boiled.
Glossary
Nori
Believed to be made from seaweed, nori is actually made from dried algae. It is primarily used to wrap sushi, to garnish and to flavour noodle soups. The darker the colour and greater the aroma, the higher the quality.
