Frequently Asked Questions About Spiced lentil patties
How do you make spiced lentil patties?
Spiced lentil patties are made by cooking red lentils, stirring in fine bulgur so it softens, then mixing in sautéed onion, olive oil and spices. Parsley and spring onions are usually added after the mixture cools enough to handle.
Do spiced lentil patties contain meat?
No, traditional spiced lentil patties contain no meat. Red lentils and fine bulgur form the base, while onion, herbs, olive oil and seasonings provide flavor; they are served as small patties or shaped rolls.
How are spiced lentil patties different from falafel?
Spiced lentil patties are a Turkish dish made with cooked red lentils and fine bulgur, while falafel is typically made from chickpeas or fava beans and fried. Lentil patties are usually shaped by hand and served without frying.
Why do spiced lentil patties fall apart?
Spiced lentil patties fall apart when the mixture is too wet, or when the bulgur has not absorbed enough moisture. Let the mixture rest before shaping; if it is still loose, mix in a little more fine bulgur and wait again.
What should you serve with spiced lentil patties?
Spiced lentil patties are commonly served with lettuce leaves, lemon and fresh herbs. Wrap a patty in lettuce and add a squeeze of lemon, or serve them as part of a Turkish-style spread with other small dishes.
Can you make spiced lentil patties ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare spiced lentil patties ahead and refrigerate them until serving. For the freshest texture, shape the patties after the mixture has cooled, and keep lettuce, lemon and other serving garnishes separate.
Can spiced lentil patties be frozen?
Yes, spiced lentil patties can be frozen, though fresh herbs may soften after thawing. Freeze them without lettuce or lemon, thaw them in the refrigerator, and add fresh herbs or other garnishes just before serving.
Are spiced lentil patties spicy?
Spiced lentil patties can be mild or hot; the heat mostly comes from the amount and type of chili used. Homemade versions are easy to adjust, with cumin, black pepper and herbs adding flavor even when chili is reduced.
Are spiced lentil patties a good choice for weight loss?
Spiced lentil patties can fit into a weight-loss meal because lentils and bulgur make them filling. Keep the serving moderate and pair them with salad or vegetables rather than adding several calorie-dense sides.
How long do spiced lentil patties last in the fridge?
Spiced lentil patties keep for about 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Store them separately from lettuce and lemon, which can make the patties damp, and discard them if their smell or appearance changes.

What is Spiced lentil patties?
