BUFFALO BURGERS
BUFFALO BURGERS
2 pounds lean ground buffalo meat (900grams)
½ cup butter, softened (125ml)
1 green onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (30ml)
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (30ml)
1 small hot red thai chili pepper, finely minced
Salt and pepper to taste
In a medium bowl, combine butter, green onion, cilantro, parsley and hot red pepper.
On a piece of plastic wrap or waxed paper, form the mixture into a cylinder, about 1 inch (1.5 cm) in diameter. Wrap and close the ends. Place the butter cylinder in the freezer to solidify.
Shape ground buffalo into 6 large balls. Cut frozen butter into six ¼ inch (4mm) discs.
Freeze remaining butter for use another day.
Make a depression in the center of each buffalo patty. Place a frozen butter disc into each meatball and seal inside. Shape meat into patties about 1-inch (1.5 cm) thick, keeping the butter well surrounded by buffalo meat.
Preheat the barbecue to 375° F/190°C or medium high heat.
Oil the grill and season buffalo burger with salt and pepper.
Grill the burgers over direct heat turning once, 6 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
Yield: 6 servings
