Juicy lamb sliders made with fresh herbs, lemon zest, and warm spices. These easy mini burgers are perfect for parties, holidays, or a flavorful weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
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 and gently combine until evenly mixed, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Shape Patties: Form small patties using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, flatten slightly, and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Broil Patties: Broil for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until cooked through and lightly browned.
Prepare Slider Buns: Slice buns in half. Spread red pepper jelly or mint jelly on the top bun.
Assemble Sliders: Add a lettuce leaf to the bottom bun, place a lamb patty on top, sprinkle with feta cheese, then finish with the top bun.
Serve: Enjoy warm.
Notes
Substitute dried herbs for fresh (use half the amount).
The lamb mixture can also be shaped into meatballs—bake and serve with feta.
Red pepper jelly gives a tangy-sweet flavor, while mint jelly creates a classic lamb pairing.
