Ingredients:

Serving

2 lb pork butt (2 1/2 lb with bone), diced into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 lb fat back, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp finely chopped fresh sage leaves
2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tbsp light brown sugar
1/2 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
special equipment: meat grinder

Directions:

Combine diced pork with all other ingredients and chill for 1 hour. Using the fine blade of a grinder, grind the pork. Form into 1-inch rounds. Refrigerate and use within 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. For immediate use, saute patties over medium-low heat in a non-stick pan. Saute until brown and cooked through, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
