Buffalo Burger with Oka Cheese

A very tasty burger with cranberries and apples for a unique flavour combination.

2¼ lbs buffalo meat, ground
¼ cup red onion, diced
¼ cup sun dried cranberries, chopped
1 tsp. pepper, freshly cracked
sea salt
olive oil for brushing
6 slices Oka cheese
6 hamburger buns
1 cup Cranberry Apple Chutney
red onion slices
lettuce
mayonnaise

In a medium-sized bowl mix together ground meat, onion, cranberries, sea salt and pepper. Knead until well combined. Form into 6 equal patties being careful to work with just the meat until it forms. Brush each side lightly with olive oil.

Preheat grill to medium high 375°F (190°C). Oil the grill to prevent sticking.

Place burgers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare. Buffalo burgers should be served medium rare, as the lean meat doesn’t take well to over cooking. Flip burgers. In the last minute of cooking, top with cheese and close the lid of the barbeque. Remove burgers from grill when cheese has melted.

Serve with chutney, and garnish with red onion, lettuce and mayonnaise if desired.
