I'm bringing this recipe up because a) I think it is really good and b) I took the trouble to get the metric measures. It has some spice but is not so much that it makes your face sweat when you eat it. It has a nice balance to it. I gave the meat one pass through a course plate and formed it into patties; next time I make it I plan to grind it a second time and case it.

Ground pork 80/20. 1000 g
Salt. 13 g
Garlic, 1 clove. 4 g
Black pepper 3.5 g
Cayenne pepper. 4.1 g
Bay leaf powder. 0.6 g
Ground cumin. 0.8 g
Ancho chili. 2.5 g
Red pepper flake. 1.4 g
Paprika. 3.5 g
Liquid smoke. ~ 8 g

There are a number of places where this base recipe can be modified to suit individual tastes.

Thanks. It's not something we get over here, so it's of particular interest.

Thanks Paul, I've had the urge to try something different.
