Ingredients
Broccoli
1 cup black rice (heirloom)
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp miso dressing
3/4 lb organic, grass-fed ground buffalo
1 avocado

  5. Mix using your hands.
  6. Divide ground buffalo into four sections and use your hands to shape into patties
  7. Lay each patty in a pan.

This can also be made without the rice if you are doing a grain free diet; however, if you exclude rice we recommend you include an alternative fiber source like black beans to get in healthy starches!!!!
