Corned Beef Rissoles

[jadyn]

Does anyone have a good recipe for corned beef rissoles please? I'd like to make them to the quality of the ones bought in fish and chip shops and they have to round and about the size of a snookerball rather than flat.
Corned beef, herbs, potatoes and onion are the usual ingredients with the whole thing covered in breadcrumbs.

Thank you.

I've looked online for a recipe and even found a link to a previous answer on AB but most of them are rubbish. I'm looking for a good home-made recipe.

I remember from childhood a corned beef pie that I occasionally make nowadays when I want a comfort food type basic meal. Any spare filling was fried into rissoles, I remember them as being delicious; although served in a traditional flat shape there's no reason they couldn't be formed into balls.

The ingrediants were
Corned beef .... large tin cut into chunks
Potatoes....about 4 large...baking potatoe size
Onion ....1 large ....cut into thick slicies
Carrot ...1 med sized cut into small dice
Worcestor sauce
Egg
Butter

Boil the potatoes, carrots and onions together in salted water, then mash them with the egg and maybe some butter till smooth, but you don't want it to become 'wet', it needs to be on the dry side.
Add the corned beef and mash that in. Then add a, few drops of Worcestor to taste, possibly add some black pepper, that's up to you.
Let the mix cool a little so you can handle it then form into the shape you want. You then put them in the fridge for half an hour so they set into shape before you fry them.
Very simple, but very tasty.

Corned beef is lovely, one of my favourite processed meats.

Thanks all. Sprinter53, I suggest you don't knock it. corned beef is lovely and nutritious. In this age of austerity who knows, you and your folks might be eating corned beef yourself before long! Just wait for the spending review next month.

Well....googlinmg would tell you that corned beef is simply beef-such as brisket,that has been preserved in salted brine. In the States,it's found in butchers and delicatessens.....here in the UK,it's in tins.

or loose, pasta, we buy it in packs precut in the supermarket. Corned beef tins are evil little things to open!

Corned beef might be tasty but I wouldn't call it cheap.

I love corned beef fritters. I also crumble it up and use it in a stew. Very tasty.

I love corned beef fritters, and corned beef and beetroot sandwiches. I get it fresh from the butchers.
