Buffalo Burgers Aspen Style

• 4 pounds ground buffalo
• 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped finely
• 3 tablespoons (more or less to taste) finely chopped fresh Anaheim or poblano chiles
• 2 tablespoons canned smoked chipotle chili paste (Paste is easier to use and distributes better. Careful, this is smoked jalepeno, adjust for the amount of heat you want.)
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 heaping tablespoons rendered duck fat (can be purchased at most gourmet meat shops)
• 6 ounces chilled fresh baby spring greens
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Freshly ground salt and pepper
• 12 fresh dinner-sized rolls
• 2 (4-ounce logs) soft goat cheese

2. Form small patties by hand (approximately 3 inches across).
3. Toss baby greens with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper, to taste.
4. Grill burgers over medium heat until cooked through.
5. Serve on dinner rolls, topped with a slice of the goat cheese and the dressed greens.
