Ingredients
Lamb Patties
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 1 tbsp fresh mint finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup feta crumbled
To Assemble
- 9 slider brioche buns warmed
- 3/4 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup baby salad leaves washed and dried
- 1 red onion finely sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
- To make the lamb patty mixture, combine the ground lamb, fresh herbs, spices, and minced garlic in a medium-sized bowl by hand. Once fully combined, gently incorporate the crumbled feta.1 lb ground lamb, 1 tbsp fresh mint, 1 tbsp fresh parsley, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground paprika, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, 1/3 cup feta
- To shape the slider patties, wet your clean hands lightly with water. Divide the meat mixture into 9 equal portions. Roll each portion into to a small ball first. Flatten them by hand or with the bottom of a cup until they are about 2 1/2 inches wide.
- Cook the lamb slider patties on a preheated BBQ or in a heated pan on medium-high heat for 3 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the patties shows 160°F (71C). Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to the pan if you're pan-frying them.
- Meanwhile, cut the slider buns in half and heat them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 3 minutes until toasted.
- To assemble the sliders, top the bottom bun with tzatziki sauce, salad leaves, lamb patty, red onion, and more tzatziki. Add the top bun and serve immediately!9 slider brioche buns, 1 cup baby salad leaves, 1 red onion, 3/4 cup tzatziki sauce

Notes
Meal prep: Lamb patties can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated until ready to cook. Remove them from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
Full-size burgers: This recipe will make about 4 full-sized lamb burgers.
Skewers: Add little skewers to secure the slider when handing them out at a gathering.
Storage: You can store leftover lamb sliders for a day but they will get soggy over time. I suggest meal-prepping the ingredients if possible and assembling the sliders fresh.
