Preparation
Place the ground lamb in a mixing bowl; gently fold in the garlic, oregano, onions, sherry, mustard, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Mix until combined.
Form the mixture into 10 patties, approximately 1 1/2 oz. patties. Place the patties onto a parchment lined sheet pan and chill for about 6 minutes.
Brush the patties with the oil and place onto a preheated grill over medium high heat for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side or, if using broil mode, place the patties on a broil pan and place under a preheated broil on high for about 3-4 minutes each side.
Garlic Aioli
Place all the ingredients into a blender and puré until combined and smooth. Remove sauce from blender and place into a container or bowl and cover. Chill for about 12 minutes.
Assemble
Cut the rolls in half, place 1 lamb patty on each roll and add a dollop of the garlic aioli. Top with tomatoes, romaine, onions and cheese.
Secure sliders with frill style toothpicks and serve.
