Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 2 tablespoons Dry ranch seasoning mix
• 1 medium Lemon
• 8 pieces Butter lettuce leaves
• 8 pieces Slider buns
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, ranch seasoning mix, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 2

Divide the pork mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small patty approximately 2.5 inches in diameter.

Step 3

Zest the lemon and set aside the zest. Then cut the lemon in half and juice it into a small bowl. Set aside both zest and juice for later use.

Step 4

In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the pork patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 5

While the patties are resting, prepare the lemony lettuce by tossing the butter lettuce leaves in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Ensure each leaf is lightly coated.

Step 6

Make the lemon ranch mayo by combining mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and the lemon zest in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 7

Lightly toast the slider buns in the same skillet used for the pork patties, about 1 minute per side, until golden and slightly crisp.

Step 8

Assemble the sliders: Spread a thin layer of the lemon ranch mayo on the bottom half of each slider bun. Place a pork patty on top, followed by a lemony lettuce leaf. Add the top bun to complete the slider.

Step 9

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the sliders warm and enjoy!
