Ingredients

  • ¾ teaspoon fennel seeds
  • ¾ teaspoon ground sage
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 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 to 4 minutes. Crush seeds with mortar and pestle.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk crushed fennel with remaining nine seasonings until thoroughly combined.
  3. In a large bowl, combine ground pork with spice mixture, blending with a wooden spoon or your hands. Avoid overworking the 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.
  6. Add patties and cook until they reach 160 degrees in the center, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
