Buffalo Burgers With Fresh Garden Herbs And Huntsman Cheese Recipe

“The original campfire burger had to be made from buffalo meat,” says Rick Rohr of Darien, Conn., who was an Alternative Burger finalist in Sutter Home Winery’s Build a Better Burger contest in 2007. Noting that buffalo is now “gaining popularity, with its associated health benefits, and more readily available,” Rick found it “only natural to develop an alternative burger using buffalo. With buffalo being a bit lean, I added some beef into the mix. Since I used two of the best ground meats, I thought I would team them with two favorite cheeses by using the classic Huntsman cheese. A savory blend of herbs rounds out the burger.” Adapted from “Burger Parties: Recipes from Sutter Home Winery’s Build a Better Burger Contest” by James McNair and Jeffrey Starr.
