Due to the floods in North Queensland, my trip to the tropics has been extended. It’s growing on me but I think I have been spending too much time in my own head. Anyway, in the spirit of sharing, I thought I would share a tropical recipe.

Coconut Rissoles

500 grams mince

2 eggs

1 chopped onion

Add desiccated coconut to bind mixture

You might be thinking “Don’t you use breadcrumbs rather than coconut to bind the mince?” Ordinarily you would be correct however this recipe was once used by my dad, maybe minus the onion, to make my sister and I Rissoles. Mum was away for work so dad decided that he would make them, however due to a football injury he lacks a sense of smell and the containers were not labeled so we ended up eating some Tropical Rissoles. I stomached only one, but my gutsy sister got down two. It destroyed Rissoles, coconut and gravy for me. I have only started to be able to enjoy these foods again recently. Below is my castaway photo.
