ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1⁄2 cup short grain brown rice
- 1⁄2 cup sweet potato, grated
- 1⁄2 onion, diced
- 1⁄2 cup whole grain flour
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
directions
- Be sure to have your rice cooked & cooled before you begin. This can happen at dinner the night before, at breakfast, or an hour before dinner. As long as the rice has cooled, it will be sticky enough to make into a patty.
- Stir together the rice, sweet potato, onion and salt in a large bowl. Allow it to sit for a few minutes, so that the salt can draw the moisture out of the potato & onion. Stir in enough flour to make the batter sticky, adding a spoonful or two of water if necessary. Form the mixture into tight balls, and squish slightly into a patty form.
- Heat a pan on medium, then add enough oil to coat the underside of each patty. Allow them to cook for 7-10 minutes, then flip. Cook another 5-7 minutes, and serve.
- These sweet potato brown rice patties can be served on their own, garnished with salsa and lettuce, on a bun as a burger, or many other ways. In the photo, I served them alongside some steamed kale, dressed with tamari and sesame seeds.

Have been eyeing this recipe up for quite a while and so glad I tried and will repeat. I used butternut squash (raw) and it worked fine. I did add more than a pinch of salt and pepper. Can see using different spices depending upon rest of meal. Maybe cumin? Mine did come out a tad oily but I did use more than a teaspoon of oil so my mistake. We had ours with recipe#512904 and the two complimented each other well. In fact put some of the dressing from salad on patty and was good but looked odd. Thank you for sharing.

WOW, these are great!! The only change I made was to use AP flour since that is what I had. I made these a little small to have as a side dish, but ended up eating them all (and not the main dish)! I will definitely be making these again and trying as a burger or with salsa. A good healthy recipe to have and not feel like you are missing out on taste. Going into my Best of Cookbook! Made for Spring PAC 2013.
