These sliders are packed with flavor and nutrition, making them perfect for a family dinner or a weekend gathering. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>For the Sliders:<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>1 lb ground lamb<\/li>\n<li>1 medium zucchini, grated<\/li>\n<li>2 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n<li>1 small onion, finely chopped<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon ground cumin<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon smoked paprika<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon sea salt<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>For the Toppings:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>1 cup arugula<\/li>\n<li>1 tomato, sliced<\/li>\n<li>1 small red onion, sliced<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Paleo-friendly mayo or avocado smash<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>For the Bun Substitute (Lettuce Wraps):<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>Large iceberg or butter lettuce leaves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Preparation<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Begin by washing the zucchini thoroughly, and then grate it using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove excess moisture. This helps in ensuring the sliders aren&#8217;t too watery.<\/li>\n<li>Mince the garlic and finely chop the onion. Chop the fresh mint and parsley as well.<\/li>\n<li>In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, grated zucchini, garlic, onion, mint, parsley, cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the sliders tough.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 2: Form the Sliders<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (or more for smaller sliders) and shape each portion into a small patty, approximately 2 inches in diameter. Make an indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 3: Cook the Sliders<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.<\/li>\n<li>Once the oil is hot, place a few sliders in the skillet, ensuring they do not touch. This allows them to cook evenly.<\/li>\n<li>Cook the sliders for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are well-browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160\u00b0F (71\u00b0C).<\/li>\n<li>Once cooked, remove the sliders from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 4: Assemble the Sliders<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Prepare your lettuce wraps by washing and drying the leaves thoroughly.<\/li>\n<li>Layer a couple of lettuce leaves at the bottom as the &#8220;bun&#8221; base.<\/li>\n<li>Place a cooked lamb slider on top of the lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato and a few rings of red onion.<\/li>\n<li>Add a dollop of Paleo-friendly mayo or a couple of avocado slices for additional flavor.<\/li>\n<li>Top with a handful of arugula, and finish it off with another lettuce leaf. Secure with a toothpick if necessary, to keep everything in place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Recipe Summary<\/h2>\n<p>These Paleo-friendly lamb and zucchini sliders are not only delicious but also bring a ton of wholesome nutrients to your meal.
