Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander

  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

  • 1 pound ground lamb

  • 8 small slider-size rolls, split

  • 1 cup baby spinach

  • ½ cup tzatziki sauce

  • ¼ cup sliced red onion

  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Mix garlic, cumin, coriander, allspice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; add lamb and mix well. Form mixture into 2-ounce patties.

  3. Grill patties on the preheated grill until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place rolls on the grill and heat until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. Layer spinach, tzatziki sauce, lamb patty, red onion, and feta cheese in each roll, creating a slider.

Tips

Some domestic lamb can be lean; you can add a little olive oil if needed.
