* 45g (1/2 cup) dried breadcrumbs

* 40g (1/2 cup) finely grated parmesan

5 Method / Steps
Step 1
Place the mince, egg, breadcrumbs, seasoning, half the parmesan and half the garlic in a bowl and mix well to combine. Use damp hands to shape 1/4 cupfuls of the mixture into 8 balls. Flatten slightly to form rissole shapes.
Step 2
Heat half the oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat. Cook rissoles for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and almost cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Heat the remaining oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Cook onion and remaining garlic, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add cream, stock cube and 125ml (1/2 cup) water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Add rissoles and tomato to the pan. Simmer for 8 minutes or until the rissoles are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Step 4
Add the spinach and remaining parmesan to the pan and cook for 1 minute or until the spinach wilts. Season.
Step 5
Serve the rissoles with sauce, sprinkled with basil leaves.
