Omar Foster's mini chapli kabab sliders recipe
Chef and food writer Omar Foster uses his Pakistan heritage to create his signature fusion cooking style. 'Chapli kababs conjure up such fond memories from childhood. I could – and still can – eat platefuls! Typically, these kababs wouldn’t be eaten as a burger but these feel like a more flavourful version of a classic patty', explains Omar. These mini sliders would make epic summer party food.
