Zucchini And Rice Patties - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3/4 cup uncooked brown rice, should make 11/2 cups cooked
    2 medium zucchini, coarsely grated
    1 onion, finely chopped
    2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
    2 -3 eggs, lightly beaten (I say 2-3 depending on the weight of eggs.)
    1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs, flakes (Japanese breadcrumbs, you may have to adjust amount if using regular as they are of different textur)
    130 g creamed corn
    1/4 cup olive oil
    Corn Relish and Cream
    250 g sweet corn relish
    1 1/4 cups sour cream
    2 tablespoons chives, chopped finely
    3 drops Tabasco sauce
Preparation
    Combine rice, zucchini, onion, parsley, egg, panko flakes and corn in a large bowl, stir with a wooden spoon to mix well.
    Shape into patties (I usually get about 14 patties from this.).
    Heat oil in a large frying pan, once quite hot, but not smoking, add patties in batches and cook until browned on both sides and heated through. Drain on absorbent paper. I served mine with a dollop of corn relish and cream. Recipe follows.
    To Serve: Place salad some salad greens on a plate, arrange patties on this and top with relish if desired.
    Corn Relish and Cream.
    I think this relish is quite delicious and goes great with the patties, I can't get corn relish where I am so I make my own. I am not sure how using a jar of store bought will adjust the taste, (as this is what I have listed for the recipe.) but I am sure it will still taste great.
    Combine all ingredients in a bowl. That's it easy peasy, This makes about 2 cups.
