Mediterranean Sliders
Mediterranean Sliders are inspired by our favorite mini burgers we love to eat with our kids. These fancy sliders are made with warm spices that include a Seven spice blend of Allspice, Cardamom, Black Pepper, Nutmeg, Clove, Cinnamon, and Ginger. They are also made with onions and garlic to give it a delicious and flavorful taste combination. You can serve on a mini-bun or top on spinach and have a low carb version, (which I love to eat!).
