Ingredients for Sliders:
1 pound ground beef
3 medium scallions, white and tender green parts only, very finely chopped
1/2 cup minced cilantro
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 small hamburger or slider buns, such as King's Hawaiian, halved
Ingredients for Chimichurri Yogurt Sauce:
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped oregano leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup plain Voskos Greek Yogurt
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Combine the garlic and vinegar in a bowl. Stir in cilantro, parsley, oregano, and lemon juice. Whisk in olive oil and yogurt and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve with sliders. Can be made one day ahead.
Place a grill pan over medium-low heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
In a medium bowl combine beef, scallions, cilantro, grated cheese salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 8 patties, each about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick. Spray the grill with cooking oil and cook the patties for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Let them rest for 2 minutes.
Place slice of tomato on bottom half of each bun; top each with a patty, spread a teaspoon of chimichurri yogurt sauce, top with a slice of onion and place the other half bun on each. Enjoy!!!
