Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Place chopped potato on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. • Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • While potato is roasting, combine beef mince, Aussie spice blend, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients), the egg and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. • Using damp hands, form heaped spoonfuls of the mixture into meatballs then flatten to make 2cm thick rissoles (4-5 per person). Set aside on a plate. TIP: If you added chopped potato, no need to prep — save the whole ones for another meal!
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add walnuts and toast until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. • Return pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the rissoles and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. • While the rissoles are cooking, thinly slice apple into wedges.
• To the tray with potato, add basil pesto and toss to combine. • In a medium bowl, add the balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add apple and mixed salad leaves. Toss to combine just before serving.
• Divide the beef and Parmesan rissoles, warm pesto potatoes and salad between plates. • Sprinkle walnuts over the salad. Top with a dollop of dill & parsley mayonnaise to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The pesto potatoes and dill and parsley mayonnaise were crowd favourites, with the sauce pairing lifting the overall dish nicely. Some found the rissoles a little mild on their own, though the accompaniments helped round out the flavour.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a straightforward and easy meal to pull together at home.
- Suggestions: Some found the rissoles a touch dry or dense; using damp hands and avoiding over-mixing the mince mixture can help keep them tender. A few noted the salad dressing tasted quite sour, so go easy on the balsamic vinegar if you prefer a milder finish.
- Portions: A few customers cooking for larger groups felt the beef quantity was on the light side, so consider scaling up the mince if feeding four or more hungry eaters.
