I had really high hopes for this recipe, but it just didn't work out for me. The patties wouldn't hold together...maybe shredding the zucchini would have helped. Also, they were a bit bland. I tried them cold in a pita with spinach and onion, and also hot with chili sauce and chutney. Sorry, but I don't think I'll be making these again.

I didn't expect it to be so good! Instead of peas and zucchini I used swiss chard - probably a little over a cup. Left the skins on the sweet potatos too. Made my own chili reduction sauce with red thai curry paste, rice vinegar, maracchino cherry syrup, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Excellent on a little bed of mixed greens! Thanks!

This was great. I didn't have zucchinni so I doubled the peas and it worked out fine. The cumin is a little overpowering, but good. We felt like it needed a liberal salting to bring out the best flavor. I also used garlic powder instead of a clover as I was in a hurry. This was pretty easy to make. I started with nothing and it was ready in less than 45 minutes. If you ahd some leftover rice and used canned potatoes it would be even faster. I can't wait to try this on a hamburger bun!

These were certainly taste (and very healthy!) but I wanted a bit more 'spice' to them. I think some curry powder would really suit the veggie/rice mix. I found the mixture easy to work with
