Here are the ingredients you need:

1. 700ml bottle passata
2. 400ml Massel Beef Style Liquid Stock
3. 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
4. 1kg lean beef mince
5. 3/4 cup long-grain rice
6. 1/2 cup milk
7. 1 egg
8. 1 small onion, grated
9. 2 tsp Italian herbs
10. 2 tsp Tuscan seasoning
11. 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped, to serve

To begin, preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan-forced before pouring the passata, stock, and vinegar into a 3.5L capacity baking dish. Make sure to mix it all together and add a bit of salt and pepper to taste.

Next, it’s time to make the rissole mixture. In a large mixing bowl combine the mince, rice, milk, egg, onion, herbs and seasoning. Use your hands to ensure everything is well-combined. Once your mince mix is ready, roll it into 1/2 cup-sized balls and add these to the tomato sauce in the baking dish.

Pop the lid on, place it in the oven and leave it to bake for around 1 hour. Once it's cooked through, let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Don't forget to sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top for the perfect finishing touch!
