These veggie patties are made with rice. The first time I made them, my meat loving husband wasn’t looking forward to them, but even he enjoyed them. A great summer dish with salad, bread and homemade mango chutney.

Ingredients

1 cup rice

2 zucchini, grated

3/4 cup corn kernels

1/2 cup grated cheese

1 large carrot, grated

1 tbsp chopped parsley

salt and pepper to taste

1 egg

4 tbsp flour

dry breadcrumbs and sesame seeds to coat

Method

  1. Cook rice and drain
  2. Combine all ingredient except for the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds. Give it a good squish with your hands to mix well. If the mixture is too moist and doesn’t come together easily, I usually add some breadcrumbs to bind.
  3. Form the patties into equal portions and coat in the breadcrumb sesame mix.
  4. Leave to set in the fridge for 15 minutes before shallow frying in oil (or oil and butter) until golden brown on both sides. Drain and serve.

Makes up to 12 small patties, but it will depend on the size you like. I usually get 8 patties.
