Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• ¼ teaspoon ground marjoram

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine pork, maple syrup, salt, sage, onion powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, marjoram, coriander, and cloves in a bowl; mix well. Form into 10 small patties.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add patties, and fry until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (73 degrees C).
