Shredded Lamb Sliders image

Lamb, a wonderful special-occasion meat, is a big crowd-pleaser in these delicious sliders. I served up about 1,500 in two days when I made them for the Great American Beer Fest, using every little bit to satisfy the very last customer. -Craig Kuczek, Aurora, Colorado

Time 6h45m

Yield 2 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 boneless lamb shoulder roast (3-1/2 to 4-1/4 pounds)
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium carrots, chopped
4 shallots, chopped
6 garlic cloves
2 cups beef stock
PESTO:
3/4 cup fresh mint leaves
3/4 cup loosely packed basil leaves
1/3 cup pine nuts
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup shredded Asiago cheese
24 slider buns
1 package (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown meat. Transfer meat to a 6- or 7-qt. slow cooker. In the same skillet, cook and stir carrots, shallots and garlic until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add stock, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Pour over lamb. Cook, covered, on low until lamb is tender, 6-8 hours., Meanwhile for pesto, place mint, basil, pine nuts and salt in a food processor; pulse until chopped. Continue processing while gradually adding oil in a steady stream. Add Parmesan and Asiago cheeses; pulse just until blended., When cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones; discard bones. Shred meat with 2 forks. Strain cooking juices, adding vegetables to shredded meat; skim fat. Return cooking juices and meat to slow cooker. Heat through. Serve on buns with pesto and feta.

I didn't like the coleslaw on these sliders. I think it would be better with a different topping.

These sliders were a little too messy for my taste.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra seasoning to the lamb, and it was much better.

The lamb was a little dry, but overall the sliders were still good.

The coleslaw is a great addition to these sliders. It adds a nice crunch and freshness.

I love that this recipe uses shredded lamb instead of ground lamb. It gives the sliders a much more tender texture.

I've made these sliders twice now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The lamb is so juicy and flavorful, and the coleslaw is the perfect topping.
