Creating Alabama White Sauce Pulled Lamb Sliders is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Lamb: Rub the lamb shoulder with olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Sear the Lamb: In a large skillet, sear the lamb on all sides over medium-high heat until browned. This step enhances the flavor.
3. Slow Cook: Transfer the seared lamb to a slow cooker. Add chicken broth and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the lamb is fork-tender.
4. Make the Alabama White Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5. Shred the Lamb: Once cooked, remove the lamb from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
6. Combine Lamb and Sauce: Mix the shredded lamb with a portion of the Alabama white sauce, ensuring it’s well coated.
7. Prepare the Slider Buns: Lightly toast the slider buns if desired for added texture.
8. Assemble the Sliders: Place a generous amount of the pulled lamb mixture on each slider bun. Drizzle additional Alabama white sauce over the top if desired.
9. Garnish: Add fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
10. Serve: Arrange the sliders on a platter and serve immediately.
