In a large mixing bowl, add the ground pork and sprinkle the entire spice blend over it. Using your hands, mix just until the spices are evenly distributed — do not overwork the meat. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, pressing a shallow dimple into the center of each with your thumb.
