Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty and distribute some extra meat towards the edges. This technique ensures a uniformly cooked patty.

Ingredients

1 tbsp fresh sage minced

1 tsp fresh rosemary
1 clove garlic minced

1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl: sage, thyme, rosemary, garlic, sugar, salt, and ground pork. Using a hand mixer beat the ground pork until well-combined.
Divide the mixture into 2-ounce (50 g) portions.
Shape each portion into a ball by rolling each portion using your palms and pressing gently at the center and moving your fingers from the center out. Turn them and continue to press gently until the sausage balls are uniform. See tips below.

Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties on each side for approximately 2 minutes or until they are fully cooked.
