Lamb Sliders with Yogurt Tahini Sauce

Serves 4

Ingredients

Sauce

• ½ cup organic plain whole milk Greek yogurt (we use Nancy's)
• 2 tbsp organic tahini
• 1 tbsp fresh organic lemon juice
• 1 organic garlic clove, pressed
• ¼ tsp kosher salt

Sliders

• 1-1/2 lb grass fed ground lamb
• ¾ cup finely chopped toasted pine nuts
• 2 tbsp za'atar (you can make your own-look it up online)
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 2 organic garlic cloves, pressed
• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses

Method

1. Completely whisk together all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
2. Preheat grill to medium-high(400-450 degrees F).
3. Place lamb in large bowl with pine nuts, za'atar, salt, garlic, and pepper. Mix with your hands until well combined. Divide mixture evenly into 8 3-1/2 oz portions, ½-inch thick.
4. Oil the grates, place sliders onto grill, and cover. They are done when an instant read thermometer reads 125 degrees F, 3-4 minutes per side. Brush sliders with pomegranate molasses during last 1-2 minutes once flipped over to second side.
5. Serve sliders with yogurt sauce.
