- Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook the rissoles until lightly browned on both sides. Remove onto a plate.

Mushroom gravy:
- Cook the onion for 1 minute, then add the mushrooms and cook for 3 – 4 minutes until they release water, soften, then become lightly browned. Add the garlic for the last 30 seconds.
- Add flour and stir for a minute.
- Pour in half the stock then keep mixing until the flour paste dissolves and thickens the liquid, and is lump free.

Gently place the rissoles in the gravy. Cook rissoles 4 – 5 minutes until the liquid thickens into a thin gravy.
