Cook wild rice according to the package and let cool down.
While rice is cooking, Preheat oven to 400 and slice broccoli. Add to a sheet pan. Season with olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook for about 12 min. If you are making homemade breadcrumbs, add broken up stale bread and season with salt, pepper and olive oil. Add to pan for the last 7 min or so.
Remove broccoli and roughly chop.
Add breadcrumbs to a food processor with your walnuts and a few tbsp of olive oil. Blend until combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rice, broccoli, whisked egg, breadcrumbs, parmesan, flaky sea salt and pepper. I kind of eyeballed this and added each ingredient as I went, but you want the same consistency of almost a meatball.
You can make the cakes whatever size you like and eye ball with your hand, or you can lay out mixture on a cutting board and use a glass to cookie cut out your cakes. That just makes them more round
Add oil of choice to a pan and wait until it gets hot. Carefully add your cakes and cook for about 2-3 min per side. Remove and serve with dressing of choice. Enjoy!
