Air Fryer Lamb Kofta Sliders with Pomegranate Molasses Glaze

Ingredients

• • ground lamb: 1 lb
• • onion, finely chopped: 1 small
• • garlic, minced: 3 cloves
• • ground cumin: 1 tsp
• • ground coriander: 1 tsp
• • cinnamon: 1/2 tsp
• • salt: 1 tsp
• • black pepper: 1/2 tsp
• • fresh parsley, chopped: 1/4 cup
• • fresh mint, chopped: 2 tbsp
• • pomegranate molasses: 1/4 cup
• • honey: 2 tbsp
• • slider buns: 8
• • Greek yogurt: 1/2 cup
• • cucumber, diced: 1/2 cup
• • lemon juice: 1 tbsp
• • olive oil: 1 tbsp
• • salt to taste

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2 In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon, salt, pepper, parsley, and mint. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. 3 Shape the lamb mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter, to fit the slider buns. You should have around 8 patties.
4. 4 Place the lamb patties in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the patties are golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness.
5. 5 While the lamb is cooking, prepare the glaze by combining the pomegranate molasses and honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.
6. 6 In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt to create a refreshing tzatziki sauce.
7. 7 Once the lamb patties are cooked, brush each with the pomegranate molasses glaze. Assemble the sliders by placing a lamb patty on each bun, topping with a dollop of tzatziki, and serving immediately.

Serving Suggestions

• • These indulgent sliders pair wonderfully with a side of crispy sweet potato fries or a simple arugula salad tossed with olive oil and lemon. For beverages, consider serving with a chilled pomegranate spritzer or a full-bodied red wine, like a Syrah, to complement the rich flavors of the lamb.
