A neighbour once gave me a recipe for spicy lentil burgers called chiladas (I think!) but it's been years since I made em and they're not exactly common fare here in Ireland so if some kind person out there in the big wide interweb world would have a recipe they could share with me I would be very grateful :o)

  2. Vegetarian Lentil Burger RecipeThese make great do-ahead meals, and you can store shaped, ready-to-cook patties in the refrigerator for a week's worth of work lunches. I use black lentils in this recipe, some of the other types of lentils are too mushy when cooked - so I'd stick with the black lentils. Feel free to spice up the batter by experimenting with your favorite seasonings.

    3 cups cooked black lentils

    4 large eggs

    1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt

    1 onion, finely chopped

    1 cup toasted fine (whole-grain) bread crumbs

    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (or clarified butter)

    Combine the lentils, eggs, and salt in a food processor. Puree until the mixture is the consistency of a runny yet textured hummus - it's o.k. if many of the lentils remain whole (see photo). Pour into a mixing bowl and stir in the onion. Add the breadcrumbs, stir, and let sit for a couple of minutes so the crumbs can absorb some of the moisture. At this point, you should have a very moist mixture that you can easily form into twelve 1 1/2-inch-thick patties. I err on the moist side here, because it makes for a nicely textured burger. You can always add more bread crumbs a bit at a time to firm up the dough if need be. Conversely, a bit of water or more egg can be used to moisten the batter.

    Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium low, add 4 patties, cover, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until the bottoms begin to brown. Turn up the heat if there is no browning after 10 minutes. Flip the patties and cook the second side for 7 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the skillet and cool on a wire rack while you cook the remaining patties. Carefully cut each patty in half, insert your favorite fillings, and enjoy immediately.

    Makes 12 mini burgers.

  3. Look at the second answer to your first question.  Angel lists a recipe that is a lentil burger, it has cumin and corriander, which are spices used in mexican cooking.  It might be what you are looking for.   :)
