Lamb Sliders with Greens and Duck Egg Aioli and Pickled Radishes

This recipe from Chef Skylar Bush uses spring garden mint and chives. It also uses spicy mustard greens and a duck egg aioli for a great take on a burger. The duck eggs are fresh from Wedge Oak Farm, the greens from Corner Springs Farm, the radishes from Old School Farm, all of which you can find at Richland Farmers Market every Saturday morning. The lamb is from Ladies of the Lamb, who you can find at the Nasvhille Farmers' Market 6 days of the week. Skylar made this recipe at The Edible Kitchen at the Sunday Market April 2018
