1. Brown beef on stove in skillet untill throughly cooked. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. In a large skillet with olive oil saute onions for 3 to 4 minutes. Add zucchini, carrots and broccoli. Add the garlic and cook until veggies are tender and well blended.
3. Add the bread crumbs to the meat and mix well.
4. Add meat and bread crumbs along with all other ingredients(except rice) in a food processor and mix throughly.
5. Remove mixture from processor into a medium size bowl. Fold rice into mixture and form into individual small to medium patties.
