Grilled Spiced Pork Patties

October 16, 2011 by

A recipe from the August 2011 issue of All You (original here). The note with the recipe explains that “Making the pork patties yourself takes more time, but it is an easy way to cut out some of the calories and fat that store-bought varieties may contain.” The recipe calls for the patties to be grilled, but they could easily be prepared on stove top or broiler.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • Salt

Directions

  1. Preheat gas grill to medium.
  2. In a large bowl, combine pork, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, egg, onion, parsley, 1 clove garlic and 1 tsp. salt.
  3. Mix thoroughly with your hands.
  4. Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls, then press into football shapes.
  5. Oil grill grates.
  6. Grill patties, turning once, until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total.
