5 Stars is not enough, perfect recipe, and so nice, they are very crunchy and take only 5 minutes from beginning to end to make, as I put everything into the food processor, I do the zucchini and garlic a little before then add the rest, I make them each week and freeze them, my favourite herb to add is dill when I do not have coriander. Thanks for posting, I use these as a vegie burger.

These hit the trifecta of my good recipe requirements: nutritious, flavorful, easy to prepare. My husband and I are meat loving omnivores always searching for flavorful vegetarian recipes to dine on a few days a week, and these really hit that mark! I can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
