Ingredients
For the Dough:1 cup of all-purpose flour1 cup of water1/4 cup of unsalted butterA pinch of saltFor the Filling:1/2 cup of chouriço sausage, finely chopped2 tablespoons of olive oil1 small onion, finely chopped1/4 cup of all-purpose flour1 cup of milkSalt and pepper to taste1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, choppedFor Coating and Frying:2 beaten eggsBreadcrumbsVegetable oil for frying
Preparation
Start by making the dough:
- In a saucepan, combine the water, butter, and a pinch of salt.
- Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the flour. Stir vigorously until the dough comes away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball.
- Let the dough cool for a few minutes.
While the dough cools, make the filling:
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped chouriço and onion. Sauté until the onion is soft and the chouriço is slightly crispy.
- Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and onions and stir to combine. Cook for a couple of minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add the milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens.
- Season the filling with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and chopped parsley. Remove it from the heat and let it cool.
- Preheat your oil for frying to 350°F (175°C).
Now, assemble the rissois:
- Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball into a round disc using your hands or a rolling pin. The discs should be about 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter.
- Place a spoonful of the chouriço filling in the center of each disc.
- Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing them together.
- Dip each rissois into the beaten egg and then coat with breadcrumbs.
Fry the rissois:
- Carefully place the rissois in the preheated oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, usually for about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the rissois from the oil and drain them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
