Budget tips:

  • Buy pork mince when it is on special and freeze to use when you need. 
  • You can make your own breadcrumbs by blending or grating leftover bread crusts.  

Reduce waste:

  • This is a good recipe for using up apples and carrots that are a bit old. 
  • Leftover rissoles can be frozen. 

Nutrition tips:

  • Choose lean pork mince as it is lower in saturated fat.
