Directions
Step 1: Cook the Rice
Combine Ingredients: Add 100g of rice and 200ml of water to a pot.
Cook the Rice: Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the rice cook until soft and fluffy. This should take about 15–20 minutes. Set the cooked rice aside to cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Zucchini Mixture
Grate the Zucchini: Use a coarse grater to shred the zucchini into a bowl.
Remove Excess Moisture: Sprinkle a little salt over the grated zucchini and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out the water. Squeeze out the excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel or your hands. This step prevents the patties from becoming soggy.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, cooked rice, 2 eggs, and 1 tablespoon of plain flour. Mix until well incorporated.
Add Seasonings: Stir in grated garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and any other spices you like. Adjust the seasoning to your taste. The mixture should have a dough-like consistency that holds together when shaped.
