Andrew Boorde’s (1549) recipe adapted. He spells the word Rissheshewes, and it was sometimes spelt resshewes. It probably comes from Norman French réchauffees.

Ingredients

  • ½ lb. (240 g.) any cold meat finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley<

Method

Mix the meat, herbs, spices and seasoning well together, and bind with one well-beaten egg. Shape into balls. Dip into the remaining beaten egg and roll in breadcrumbs, so that each rissole is the shape of a sausage. Fry as for veal fritters, turning once. Serve immediately with separate sauce or gravy.
