Recipe View Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Pan-fry the patties in batches until browned and cooked through, approximately 5 to 8 minutes per side. Ensure an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) is reached.

For an enhanced flavor profile, consider toasting the dried spices (Aleppo pepper, chili powder, oregano, cumin, cloves, and coriander) lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the pork mixture.
If you prefer a spicier chorizo, increase the amount of Aleppo pepper or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mix.
When forming the patties, handle the mixture gently to avoid compacting the meat, which can result in a tougher texture.
