Directions
Heat oil in a large skillet.
Add onion, carrots, turnips, zucchini, beets, garlic, cumin and herbs.
Sauté until vegetables begin to wilt, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly.
Soak oats in water for 5 minutes, then drain and press out excess water.
Add to vegetable mixture along with potatoes, hazelnuts and rice.
Season with salt and pepper.
Form mixture into 8 patties.
Grill patties on a well-oiled vegetable grill, or sauté in olive oil for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden.
Serve as desired with or without a bun. They work quite well on their own along with home-made spicy tomato ketchup. See link for a recipe below.
