Red Wine Buffalo Burgers
serves 4
Ingredients
600 grams buffalo meat
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon butter or virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon red wine
Grated cheddar cheese, optional
Recipe
Spread meat over a cutting board and coat with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Fold meat over and kneed lightly to incorporate spices.
Separate the meat into 4 and press lightly into patties. You don't want to compress the meat too much otherwise it won't cook well. Lightly compact is what you want to go for.
Add butter to a pan on high heat and allow it to melt until just before smoking. Add the patties. Sear for 3 to four minutes and flip.
Add red wine, allowing the juices to reduce as the meat sears for another 4 to five minutes.
A few times throughout cooking, tilt the pan and spoon the juices back over the meat.
Add grated cheese if desired.
Serve with buns or alongside cauliflower recipes...
Cauliflower is finally getting the vegetable credit it deserves. Thanks to the onslaught of cauliflower "rice" recipes, this brassica is having its food fad moment in the spotlight. But cauliflower isn't just highly versatile, but it's incredibly good for you.

For a lighter meal, pair cauliflower with fish like Almond Poached Cod or Salmon and Lentils or for a vegetarian take: another vegetable main dish like Beetroot Tartare or Escar-No. But if you're looking for something heartier, serve cauliflower alongside a meat dish, like these buffalo meat burgers pan seared in a red wine sauce. The meat sauce makes for a delicious pairing with all cauliflower recipes.
