Zucchini and Rice Patties

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup uncooked brown rice, should make 11/2 cups cooked
• 2 medium zucchini, coarsely grated
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
• 2-3 eggs, lightly beaten (I say 2-3 depending on the weight of eggs.)
• 1 1/2 cups panko, flakes (Japanese breadcrumbs, you may have to adjust amount if using regular as they are of different textur)
• 130 g creamed corn
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Corn Relish and Cream

• 250 g sweet corn relish
• 1 1/4 cups sour cream
• 2 tablespoons chives, chopped finely
• 3 drops Tabasco sauce

Directions

1. 1

   Combine rice, zucchini, onion, parsley, egg, panko flakes and corn in a large bowl, stir with a wooden spoon to mix well.

2. 2

   Shape into patties (I usually get about 14 patties from this.).

3. 3

   Heat oil in a large frying pan, once quite hot, but not smoking, add patties in batches and cook until browned on both sides and heated through. Drain on absorbent paper. I served mine with a dollop of corn relish and cream. Recipe follows.

4. 4

   To Serve: Place salad some salad greens on a plate, arrange patties on this and top with relish if desired.

5. 5

   Corn Relish and Cream.

6. 6

   I think this relish is quite delicious and goes great with the patties, I can't get corn relish where I am so I make my own. I am not sure how using a jar of store bought will adjust the taste, (as this is what I have listed for the recipe.) but I am sure it will still taste great.

7. 7

   Combine all ingredients in a bowl. That's it easy peasy, This makes about 2 cups.
