Ingredients

Rice

  • 1½ cups jasmine rice
  • 2¼ cups water
  • ½ tsp salt

Veggies

  • 200g Brussels sprouts
  • ½ carrot
  • ½ courgette
  • 125g frozen peas

Rissoles

  • ½ carrot
  • ½ courgette
  • ½ brown onion
  • 450g lamb mince
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp salt

Hoisin Sauce

  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame or olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp water

To Serve

  • Sesame seeds

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Prepare an oven dish, (measuring about 30cm x 25cm). Combine rice, water and salt in a medium pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes.
  2. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking. While rice is cooking; thinly slice Brussels sprouts; peel first measure of carrot and courgette into ribbons. Set aside. Grate remaining carrot and courgette. Finely dice onion.
  3. In a large bowl, using clean hands, mix all lamb rissole ingredients together. Using a ¼ cup measure, shape mixture into balls, then flatten to 1cm-thick rissoles. Set aside. In a small bowl, mix all hoisin sauce ingredients. Set aside.
  4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook rissoles for about 2 minutes each side, until golden but not cooked through. Add rissoles to prepared oven dish and reserve pan. Pour hoisin sauce over rissoles and bake for about 5 minutes, until sticky and cooked through.
  5. Wipe reserved pan clean and return to high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook Brussels sprouts and peas for 1 minute. Add carrot and courgette and cook a further 1-2 minutes, until wilted but still crunchy. Season to taste.
  6. To serve, spoon ¾ cup of rice between plates, top with veggies and sticky Asian lamb rissoles. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce on the side.
