For Rissoles

- 1 egg
- 2 oz. crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 2 tablespoons Macedonian-style ajvar relish substitute with tomato paste

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients for the rissoles. Blend it with your clean hands or using a wooden spoon. Don't over mix, it'll make your rissoles tough. Use wet hands to form six patties.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add rissoles. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Flip them a few times for even cooking.
- Transfer the rissoles to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. To the pan, add the ajvar or tomato paste and whipping cream. Stir and let simmer for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes

You could bake the rissoles in an oven for even healthier version, however, the gravy will taste better when made with the brown bits of fried rissoles.
