• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

2. Form the pork mixture into two patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and golden brown.
