dumb question about freezing

[Chicane]

So, there's a little bit of trouble with the eating of solids and I want to start to offer a few more creative meals to see if that helps get him more interested.

I have a recipe for chicken rissoles...it says they can be freezed. But do i freeze them raw or cooked?

[jess, lukeys_mom]

you can do either ;-)

i'd probably choose to freeze them uncooked. cook the ingredients that you need to make the rissoles, but before you do the last step in cooking them, wrap them up and then to cook you can take them out to defrost for a bit and then bake but extend the cooking time.  if you are going to pan fry them to make, then you can defrost for a little longer so they're not frozen solid and then just do on the pan a bit more till they're done. 

otherwise you can cook first and freeze the leftovers, but they will probably be fresher the other way.

i don't really know what those are, but wanted to add that you can only freeze them raw if the meat you're using was not previously frozen.

thanks ladies,

Maggie rissoles are like patties. You can make with with almost anything...I think perhaps it must be a British word...
