Italian Beef Rissoles With Fresh Tomato Salsa image

Tasty rissoles for lovers of Mediterranean ingredients - capsicum, garlic, olives, basil - which I have adapted from a recipe in the November 2005 issue of the 'Australian Good Taste' magazine. It was accompanied by a delicious low-fat recipe for potatoes: Recipe #145705. In adapting this recipe, I have suggested making 12 rissoles rather than the 8 in the original recipe. This immediately makes serving sizes more versatile. If you are watching your calories and fat intake, have just ONE rissole and more of the salsa. Posted for the post ZWT, Healthy for the Holidays Challenge! The fat content is probably still a bit on the high side, but remember the calorie and fat content is for the rissoles and the salsa! If you are not interested in making the salsa, make 8 rissoles (instead of 12) to serve 4.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The rissoles were a bit dry, and the salsa was too tangy for my taste.

I had trouble finding some of the ingredients for this recipe. I ended up substituting a few things, and the rissoles didn't turn out as good as I hoped.

These rissoles were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.
