Xai Bites Recipe

Prepare the Onions

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cook the Lamb

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into two slider patties. In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb sliders for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Make the Red Wine Sauce

In the same skillet used for the lamb, pour in the red wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer for about 5 minutes, until it reduces slightly.

Assemble the Sliders

Place each lamb slider on a slider bun. Top with caramelized onions and a slice of manchego cheese. Drizzle with the red wine sauce before closing the bun.
