Ingredients

2 cups shredded red cabbage
1 red onion half minced, half shaved into thin slices
1/2 cup Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Golden Figs stemmed and chopped
1/8 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 cup Fig BBQ Sauce divided
1 pound ground lamb
1/2 cup Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Mission Figs stemmed and chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
8 soft dinner rolls or Hawaiian-style rolls
1 cup fresh basil leaves
8 thick slices fresh mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Make the Slaw: toss together the cabbage, shaved onion, California Golden Dried Figs, parsley, mayonnaise, and 1/2 cup fig barbecue sauce until blended.
Combine the ground lamb, minced onion, California Mission Figs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until blended. Shape into 8 patties. Drizzle olive oil into a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the patties and cook about 4 minutes. Turn them over, brushing the top generously with FIg BBQ Sauce. Cook another 2-3 minutes, until cooked through.
Assemble the slider: lay a few basil leaves on the bottom side of a roll. Top with a slider patty, a slice of mozzarella and pile on the slaw. Serve immediately.
