01
Step 1
In a big bowl, mix together the pork, maple syrup, salt, sage, onion powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, marjoram, coriander, and cloves until everything is well combined. Shape the mixture into about 10 small patties.
02
Step 2
Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a few patties to the pan—don’t overcrowd it—and cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. They should be nicely browned and cooked through, with no pink in the center. If you have a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 160°F.

Step 3
Work in batches if needed, adding a bit more oil between rounds. Once all the patties are cooked, serve them up warm and enjoy!
