Consider these magic little morsels the ideal party starter, bound to tie your family and friends over until the main event.
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
1 packet of Silver Fern Farms Venison Mince
30 gram Wild Fennel Co. venison seasoning
1 egg
50 grams plain flour
200 grams firm blue cheese
pack of 8 slider buns
100ml aioli
100 grams rocket
olive oil
METHOD
Pre-heat oven to 180ºc.
To begin, slice your slider buns and in a small bowl break the blue cheese up with a fork and put to one side.
Mix the Silver Fern Farms Venison Mince, Wild Fennel Co. venison seasoning, egg and the plain flour in a large bowl until fully mixed.
Divide the mixture into eight 50g meatballs and press into small burger patties.
Heat a non-stick pan with a little of the cooking oil until it is almost smoking. Caramelise the burger patties for 2 minutes on both sides then to finish put in the oven for a further 4 minutes.
While the venison patties are in the oven, lightly toast your slider buns then spread a generous amount of aioli on both sides.
To assemble: Take the venison from the oven and begin to assemble the sliders by placing a pattie on the base of the slider, topped with the broken down blue cheese, then a small handful of rocket and finish with the lid. Serves 4.

Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
