Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork with 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then form into 8 equal small patties.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork patties for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove and keep warm.
3. Step 3: While pork cooks, prepare the pickled slaw by mixing 1 cup finely shredded green cabbage and 1 julienned medium carrot in a bowl. Add 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp honey, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss and let sit for 10 minutes to develop flavor and soften slightly.
4. Step 4: Stir 1/4 cup mayonnaise into the slaw mixture until well combined.
5. Step 5: Lightly toast 8 mini slider buns. Assemble sliders by spreading a spoonful of slaw on the bottom bun, topping with a warm pork patty, then the top bun. Serve immediately for a flavorful bite with crunchy tangy slaw and spiced pork.
