Reader Recipe of the Week: Rosemary Lamb Sliders with Arugula and Garlic-Dijon Aioli

Thank you to Jessie and Justin for introducing me to these little bites of heaven. I first had these at our engagement party earlier this year. It was love ever since. For weeks Gary was talking about them. To lazy to make them again, we invited ourselves over (kinda!) to Jessie and Justin's last weekend and sure enough - they were on the menu!!

Hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Rosemary Lamb Sliders with Arugula and Garlic-Dijon Aioli

(serves 6-8)

Ingredients:

Burgers

3/4 lb ground lamb

3/4 lb ground chuck

3/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons dijon mustard

2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

3 tablespoons minced red onion

2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

Garlic Dijon Aioli

3/4 cup mayo

1 1/2 tablespoons whole grain mustard

1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic

Accompaniments

mini buns

sliced red onions

arugula

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, make aioli and set aside.

2. In large bowl, mix all burger ingredients. Divide into 24 portions - about 1 tablespoon each. Form into 2 inch diameter patties.

3. Heat large, non-stick skillet over med-high heat. Cook about 2 minutes per side.

If serving at a party, place cooked patties on a large platter, with accompaniments on the side. This will prevent the buns from getting soggy!
