A burger with a difference...

Early this autumn we went up to visit my in-laws in Tidaholm and we spent the day out picking mushrooms and blueberries. On our way home we stopped to look at these...

...big, beautiful buffalo's...very big! There is a farm in Gate that has buffalo...you can even go on a buffalo safari. We went up to the shop to see if they were open. They were and this is what they were selling...

...lots and lots of meat! So we bought a piece of buffalo steak and then we bought these...

...buffalo burgers. The roast we made when we got home. It was delicious! Buffalo meat is a red meat that is healthier than beef as the meat is less fatty. Because of this though, it is important to not cook the meat to long as it can easily dry out.
Recently we decided to make the burgers and they were very tasty, very different to beef burgers but very tasty.


Fry the patties and serve them with some tomato, lettuce and some fried onion and mushrooms on a hamburger roll. I basted the patties with a BBQ sauce before I fried them, which added a nice smoky flavour.

The buffalo farm in Gate is definitely worth a visit if you are ever in the Tidaholm area. And buffalo meat is definitely worth a try some day!
