Risoles

I have a traditional snack recipe to share today, that is Indonesian. They are called Risoles.

I believe Risoles is actually pretty common in South East Asian countries, although most likely with different names, however, supposedly Risoles is Portuguese origin. I Wikipediad 😛 and have to mention that the Rissole from Europe, South America, and Australia are very different from the Asian style though 🙂

Here is the recipe should you like to give them a try. In Indonesia they are mostly filled with beef, chicken, and/or with egg plus smoked deli meat, though, but the veggie filled is as good 😉
