This recipe becomes even easier if you purchase precooked brown and wild rice. Mix ingredients in a mixing bowl and form fistful balls with the mixture. Add salsa last in an amount that allows all the ingredients to mingle. Roll balls in olive oil mixture and form into a patty to grill OR precook patties in olive oil in a frying pan and bring patties to the BBQ to heat up. Serve topped with chunky salsa, condiments of your delight and your favorite lucky buns. Fun!
Ask a question about this stepUnlucky version: If you enjoy onions and garlic, you can add 2 gloves garlic and 1 small yellow onion sauteed in olive oil with the zucchini and yellow squash cooked in the last three minutes (after the onion begins to brown slightly). The addition of onions and garlic may not make you so lucky but sometimes the extra taste is worth it.
