Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground pork
- 0.5 cup Unsalted breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground pork, unsalted breadcrumbs, and the large egg. Mix until well incorporated.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, chopped fresh parsley, and ground black pepper to the pork mixture. Stir until the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, ensuring they are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork patties to the skillet, ensuring they are not crowded.
Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the patties warm, accompanied by your favorite low-sodium side dishes.
