    Makes 16 patties

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk paprika, garlic, salt, black pepper, cayenne, thyme, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Add pork and maple syrup. Using your hands, combine well.
