YES! That's basically what I was looking for - it appears that I will
be frying them, and it appears that I need to figure out how finely
to mince already-cooked chicken -
Barb, the rissole recipes looked more like what I expected, as long as
I leave out mushrooms - rissoles were seriously infested with
mushrooms and my family is anti-fungus.
This is gonna be my project for next weekend - this weekend (Friday)
is "soup day". I'm making huge batches of 3 types of soup - the
contenders right now are vegetable beef, chicken tortilla and a ham
soup called Fremont Soup in my family - then everyone in my family or
friends is invited over - they bring things that "go with" soup
(crackers/cheeses/breads) and containers. We all eat, and they take
leftovers home, as I'll end up with close to 15 gallons total (3 - 5
gallon stockpots mostly full)
