Ingredients
Ingredients for shishito peppers:
- 1/2 lb shishito peppers
- 1 tablespoon safflower oil
- 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
- sea salt & pepper to taste
- fresh lemon juice to taste
Ingredients for burger:
- 1 sprouted grain bun
- 5oz raw lean ground bison (I used Northstar Bison)
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 oz reduced fat mozzarella cheese (optional)
- Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- sea salt & pepper
- Garnish:
- red onion slices
- heirloom tomato slices

Steps
Step 1
Fire up your grill and set it to 350F.
Step 2
Set a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat and add safflower oil. When the oil is hot, toss in the shishito peppers and all the peppers to hear. Add a few pinches of sea salt & pepper and garlic. Toss the peppers in the seasoning for about 2-3 minutes. Remember to ensure that all sides of the peppers are searing.
Step 3
In the final minute of cooking, add freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste.
Step 4
Remove the peppers from the heat and set aside.
Step 5
Season the bison meat and form a patty. Place the patty on the hot grill (or cook in a nonstick skillet) and cook to desired readiness. I personally recommend cooking wild game meat all the way through since some wild game has been known to carry bacterial diseases.
Step 6
Once the patty is nearly finished cooking on the grill, if desired, place a slice of cheese on top and allow it to melt on the patty in the final minutes of cooking.
Step 7
Build your burger and enjoy!
