Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 patties
Ingredients
  • ¾ teaspoon fennel seeds, skillet toasted, then crushed
  • ¾ teaspoon ground sage
  • ½ teaspoon crushed thyme
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon Aleppo pepper
  • 1 pound lean ground pork
Instructions
  1. Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add fennel seeds and cook, stirring or shaking constantly, until seeds are fragrant and toasted, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Crush seeds with mortar and pestle.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk crushed fennel with remaining nine seasonings until thoroughly combined. In a large bowl, combine ground pork with spice mixture, blending with wooden spoon or hands. (Avoid over-working mixture as patties will be tough.)
  4. Shape into 8 patties, 3-inches in diameter.
  5. Heat an extra-large skillet (12-inch) over medium heat until hot. Add patties and cook until patties reach 160°F in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Serve immediately.
