    Use a food processor to grind the toasted cashews and sunflower seeds into a fine meal, then transfer to a large bowl. Pulse the onion and carrots in the food processor until finely shredded, and combine with the ground nuts. Add the cooked rice and olive oil to the food processor and pulse until smooth, then mix into the bowl. Season with salt. Shape the mixture into patties.
