Perfectly Fried Golden Meat Rissóis Recipe

Filling:

1. Sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil until lightly golden.
2. Add the ground beef and cook until it loses its reddish color.
3. Add salt, the crushed tomatoes, water, chouriço slices, white wine, and tomato paste.
4. Let it cook until all the liquid is absorbed.
5. Remove the chouriço slices and bay leaf, and let the filling cool.

Dough:

1. In a saucepan, combine water, olive oil, milk, and salt and bring to a boil.
2. Add the flour all at once, and stir vigorously over low heat until a ball forms that comes away from the sides of the pan.
3. Place the dough on a countertop dusted with flour and knead it slightly until it cools.
4. Roll out the dough thinly with a rolling pin.

Assembling:

1. Cut circles of dough with a cutter, fill with the meat filling, and close and seal them (brush the edges with a little water so they stick together, if needed).
2. Dip the rissóis in beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs.
3. You can freeze them in plastic trays to keep them separated and ready to use.
4. If you are going to cook them right away, place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, this will prevent them from opening up during the cooking process.
5. Fry them in peanut oil until golden brown and enjoy.
