These Mediterranean Lamb Sliders are a delightful twist on the classic burger, featuring a flavorful lamb patty paired with a refreshing herbed yogurt sauce.
Mix the ground lamb, cumin, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Form the lamb mixture into 8 small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the patties for 4 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while grilling to retain their juices.
Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess water.
Removing excess water prevents the sauce from becoming too runny.
Mix the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped mint, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Let the sauce rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Assemble the sliders by placing a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a lamb patty on each bun. Top with a dollop of yogurt sauce and a slice of onion.
Serve immediately to enjoy the sliders at their freshest.
