Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ cup fresh mint, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley (or ¼ cup fresh parsley, minced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 pound ground lamb
- Slider buns (makes about 10 sliders)
- Red pepper jelly or mint jelly
- Lettuce leaves
- Feta cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the panko breadcrumbs, cumin, and ground coriander. Add the fresh mint, parsley, and lemon zest, stirring well.
- Combine with Lamb: Add the ground lamb to the mixture and gently combine until evenly mixed. Avoid overworking the meat.
- Shape Patties: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form the mixture into small patties. Flatten slightly and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Broil Patties: Broil the patties for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and lightly browned.
- Prepare Slider Buns: Slice the slider buns in half. Spread red pepper jelly (or mint jelly) on the top bun.
- Assemble Sliders: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, top with a lamb patty, sprinkle with feta cheese, and finish with the top bun.
- Serve: Enjoy these festive lamb sliders warm.
Notes
- If fresh herbs aren’t available, substitute with dried versions (half the amount).
- These sliders double as a great meatball recipe. Simply roll into balls, bake, and serve with feta cheese.
- Red pepper jelly adds a tangy-sweet flavor, but mint jelly works well for a more traditional lamb pairing.
