Directions:

  1. Whiz together all sauce ingredients in a mini-blender and pour into a small crock; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  2. Bring 3 cups water to the boil in a small saucepan; add brown rice and boil for 30 minutes; add lentils and boil for 20 minutes longer (the mixture will look like porridge); allow to cool (mixture will thicken as it cools).
  3. Put minced onion, grated sweet potato and zucchini into a colander and toss with 1 tsp salt; allow to drain for 1/2 an hour; after half an hour, take handfuls of the vegetable mixture and squeeze as much water out as you can from it.
  4. Place it into a large bowl as you squeeze it dry; add cooled rice/lentil mixture, minced garlic, cheeses, parsley, dill, mint, egg and rye flour; with hands combine very well so that everything is evenly distributed; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before frying.
  5. Pour enough oil (I used olive) into a large, non-stick skillet to come 3/4 of an inch up sides of pan; heat over medium-high heat until small amount of latke mixture put in will immediately come to the surface and fry fairly briskly.
  6. Take about 2 tbsp of latke mixture at a time, shape into a patty that is about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 an inch thick; fry 4-5 minutes; after 4-5 minutes, gently turn patty over and fry other side; as patties turn a deep golden-brown, remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
  7. Repeat with remaining latke mixture until all the patties have been fried.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature with the sauce.
