Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Mix the seasoning thoroughly before measuring to ensure even distribution of herbs and spices.
Toast dried herbs briefly in a dry skillet before blending to deepen their flavor, then cool completely.
Add the seasoning to ground pork and mix gently with your hands until just combined—overmixing toughens the meat.
For patties, chill the seasoned pork for 30 minutes before forming to help them hold their shape while cooking.

Substitutions

Brown sugar → maple syrup powder or coconut sugar (use same amount, slightly less sweetness with coconut)
Dried sage → dried marjoram or oregano (milder herb, increase by ¼ tsp)
Red pepper flakes → cayenne pepper (use ¼ tsp for similar heat)
Kosher salt → sea salt or table salt (reduce table salt to 1.5 tsp due to finer grain)
