- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons water (flax egg)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Making these patties is straightforward. Just follow these steps, and you’ll have a nutritious dish ready in no time:
- Begin by cooking the brown rice according to package instructions. Allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, finely chopped kale, cooked green peas, breadcrumbs, flax egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs.
- Mix everything together until well combined. You can use your hands for a better mix since it helps to combine the ingredients more thoroughly.
- Once the mixture is ready, shape it into patties. You can make them as thick or thin as you prefer, but typically about 1/2 inch thick works well.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet, being sure not to crowd them.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish. Enjoy your healthy and flavorful Brown Rice, Kale, and Green Pea Patties!
