This recipe has some flaws. First of all, nowhere in the steps does it mention where to add the rice in. It’s easy enough to figure out that it should be at the end of step 3, though. Secondly, in the ingredients list, it mentions oil twice–one of them divided. I think that was a mistake, because you’re supposed to divide the oil between sautéing the onions first and then again when pan-frying the cakes, so the extra oil listed was superfluous. The recipe didn’t mention draining the zucchini, but I went ahead and did that anyways, because I know it retains a lot of moisture and would probably make the patties too soggy. Nonetheless, they were a little more on the wet side to be able to form a cohesive patty, so I ended up adding almond flour. Nowhere in the recipe does it say how big the patties should be and how many cakes this recipe makes, and I feel like that’s an important piece of info to manage expectations for following a recipe (especially for the first time). I ended up adding some garlic for more flavor, but even then, I still feel like it could use more seasoning. All of that being said, the dish itself is pretty good. It would get a higher rating from me if the recipe were edited better/easier to follow. I might try making something like this again but make some adjustments based on my experience cooking this the first time. I think it would go really well with an aioli or creamy sauce of some kind.
