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

Yield 2 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 boneless lamb shoulder roast (3-1/2 to 4-1/4 pounds)

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.

These sliders were a waste of time and money. The meat was dry and the sauce was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sliders turned out terrible. The meat was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

The lamb sliders were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would drain the lamb more thoroughly next time.

The lamb sliders were a bit dry, but the sauce helped to make up for it. I would recommend using a more fatty cut of lamb next time.

The lamb sliders were easy to make and very tasty. I used ground lamb and it worked out well. The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure it would be perfect for someone who likes a little heat.
