I think rissole, which almost rhymes with gristle, is an unfortunate name with connotations of a poor man’s dish – made from substandard scraps.   The only substandard thing here was with my photography, I still do not have a new prime lens, and I was keen to eat my supper, rather than light and style it.  From henceforth I shall refer to these delicious morsels as croquettes, which sounds altogether far more appetising.
These were made from the last remains of the Christmas turkey found in the depths of the freezer.    Since making them, variations have made frequent appearances on our menu, mix it up with different left over meats and flavours. Delicious.

I could never put my finger on why I didn’t like the sound of rissoles – but you’re right, it’s the ‘gristle’ connection! How unpleasant! Croquettes, however, are one of my favourite foods, so this sounds much nicer! I’m not a massive Thai curry fan, but fancy trying this with some fresh sage instead.
