Brown Rice, Lentil & Zucchini Patties

These patties came together on a whim to use up the cooked lentils and half a zucchini hanging out in the fridge. The zucchini was leftover from the Zucchini Sandwich Cookies we made which were oh so good! Next time I'm doubling the recipe, they went way too fast...

 

 

These patties were originally intended for sweet lil' baby Isla but turns out the whole fam damily loved them! The lentils with rice make a complete protein and the zucchini adds a nice punch of vitamin C, A, B6, folate, potasium and manganese. I also added wheat germ, which provides folic acid, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, vitamin E and thiamin. I always feel like Supermom when I provide such great foods for my family and Super-er-mom when they like it!
