Cucumber Slaw
2 Persian cucumbers, shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
0.25 Red onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp Parsley, chopped
1 tbsp Dill, chopped
0.50 tsp Kosher salt
2 tsp Olive oil
Juice of half a lemon
Burgers
1 lb Ground American lamb
1 tsp Kosher salt
0.50 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp Ground cumin
0.50 tsp Ground coriander
0.50 tsp Red chili flakes
0.75 cup Feta, crumbled
2 tsp Olive oil
5 Slider buns, split & toasted
1In a medium bowl, combine the cucumbers, red onion, parsley, dill, salt, olive oil, and lemon juice and toss to combine.
2In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, and feta. Mix until well combined. Shape into five 3.5 ounce patties.
