Sweet Potato, Feta & Brown Rice Patties

This is an easy to make meal with a wonderful combination of flavours that will please the whole family.

Brown rice and sweet potato form the base of these patties.  The flavour is augmented with a combination of sweet potato, feta, cottage cheese, garlic, and parsley added into the mixture.  Cooked to a golden brown finish then served on a bed of baby spinach.  Topped with your favourite chutney and you have an incredibly tasty meal that will become a firm favourite and regular on your home menu.

For those that prefer pumpkin to sweet potato, this can be easily substituted if that is your preference.  There are also a variety of ways that the patties can be served.  You may choose to make larger patties and serve them burger style in a bun as an example.
