it worked! I used peanuts- 1/2 cup crushed and mixed in the end, before forming patties, also they need a hot skillet and hardly any oil.

That sounds good. I've got a bunch of zucchini and feta so may even make them tonight with Cathy's Margarita shrimp. Thanks for the recipe!

edit: made them, came out very good. I used a table top electric griddle with hardly any oil. We will make them again- forgot to serve them with yogurt though.
