Rissoles are one of taste.com.au’s most commonly searched dinner recipes - so I knew they had to play a starring role in our Savvy Dinner Plan. A staple at Australian barbecues and a favourite fuss-free weeknight dinner, rissoles are simple but mighty. I’ve reimagined the classic with this chicken cacciatore rissoles recipe that’s friendly on the budget and full of flavour. I serve these rissoles on spiral pasta, which mops up the sauce and stretches the meal even further. Better yet, you can make these up to three months in advance so you have ready-made rissoles ready to, uh, roll when you’re short on time.  How to make my budget-friendly chicken cacciatore rissoles: key ingredient swaps To make this rissole recipe, I used Coles Simply Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce to add Mediterranean flavours using only one simple ingredient. And, I’ve also used herb-and-garlic-flavoured breadcrumbs to boost flavour (and bolster the rissoles) using fewer ingredients. Another trick? If you choose loose cup mushrooms, rather than purchasing pre-packaged mushrooms, they work out more affordable per kilogram.  Save even more across the month with the Savvy Dinner Plan The taste + Coles Savvy Dinner Plan is full of clever ways to use ingredients across multiple meals. You can use the breadcrumbs from this recipe in the beef and baked bean rissoles featured in week 4 of the plan, and use the pre-grated parmesan in the one-pan ratatouille risoni this week (week 2).
