Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 slider buns
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup sliced tomato
  • Tzatziki sauce, for serving

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, breadcrumbs, chopped red onion, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Form the lamb mixture into small patties about 3 inches in diameter.
  3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
  4. While the lamb patties are resting, lightly toast the slider buns on the grill or in a toaster.
  5. To assemble the sliders, place a lamb patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with arugula, crumbled feta cheese, sliced red onion, cucumber, and tomato. Spread a dollop of tzatziki sauce on the top half of each bun.
  6. Serve the Spring Lamb Sliders with a side of fries or a salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
