Buffalo Burgers

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 green onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1 small hot red pepper, finely minced
• 2 pounds lean ground buffalo meat

Preparation:

Combine butter, cilantro, parsley, and hot red pepper. On foil or waxed paper, form mixture into a thick cylinder, about 1 inch in diameter. Wrap and freeze the butter cylinder.

Shape ground buffalo into 6 large balls. Cut frozen butter into six 1/4-inch lengths. Freeze remaining butter for use another day.

Make a depression in the center of each meatball. Place a frozen butter patty into each meatball and seal inside. Shape into patties about 1-inch thick, taking care to deep the butter sealed. Broil on grill or under broiler about 4 inches from heat. Cook 4 to 6 minutes on each side, to desired doneness. Serve on buns with fried peppers and onions, along with your favorite condiments.
