What is "rissole"?

A rissole is a small, savory pastry or patty that is typically made from a mixture of minced meat, breadcrumbs, and seasonings. The mixture is shaped into small rounds or patties, then coated in breadcrumbs and fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Rissoles can be made with a variety of meats, including beef, chicken, pork, or lamb, and can be flavored with herbs, spices, and other ingredients such as onions, garlic, or cheese. They are a popular snack or appetizer in many parts of the world and can be served hot or cold. Rissoles are also a popular addition to meals such as stews or soups, or can be served as a main dish with a side salad or vegetables. They are known for their crispy texture and rich, savory flavor.
