Instructions
Place all the ingredients (except for the ground pork) in a spice grinder and pulse until you get a smooth spice paste.
Add the spice paste to the ground pork. Mix well to incorporate the spices into the meat. Optional - let the meat marinate (in a covered bowl) for about an hour.
Using a scoop, portion out 6 - 8 servings of the ground meat. Using wet hands, shape the ground meat into a patty.
Heat up an oiled non-stick pan on medium - medium high heat to cook the patties. Or heat up the grill to medium high heat.
Grill the sausage patties 4 - 5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown. Leave them in the oven to keep them warm, if you're serving them soon.
FREEZE FOR LATER - wrap the cooked and cooled down sausage patties with freezer paper or parchment paper and freeze in resealable bags. Heat in the microwave for a couple of minutes (until hot), when you're ready to eat. Enjoy!
