Heat oil in a wide-bottomed pan and sauté onion until translucent. Add garlic, grated vegetables, dill, salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly and cook for 10 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring regularly. Transfer to a large bowl and cool. Place cooled vegetables, rice, and hazelnuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely combined. Transfer to a large bowl and mix in all of the remaining ingredients. Season to taste. Take a handful of the mix and test it to see if it holds together. If not, add breadcrumbs, ½ cup at a time until the mixture firms. Shape into 5 oz patties and sauté in olive oil until browned on both sides.
