Ingredients:
| 1 3/4 pound | ground pork (not lean) |
| 1 | small onion, grated and squeezed dry |
| 4 cloves | garlic, finely grated |
| 2 tablespoons | minced fresh sage |
| 1 tablespoon | minced fresh thyme |
| 3 tablespoons | pure maple syrup |
| 1 tablespoon | paprika |
| 1/2 teaspoon | ground allspice |
| 1/2 teaspoon | ground coriander |
| 1/4 teaspoon | cayenne pepper |
| kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
| kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
| 2 tablespoons | extra-virgin olive oil |
Directions:
Mix the pork, onion, garlic, sage, thyme, syrup, paprika, allspice, coriander, cayenne, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper with your hands. Form into 18 patties, 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick; put on a foil-lined baking sheet, cover and chill overnight.
The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook half of the patties, turning once, until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet. Wipe out the skillet. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and patties, then transfer the patties to the oven to finish cooking, 5 to 10 minutes.
