Directions

1

["Cut the pork shoulder into thick pieces, wrap and place in the freezer for an hour or so---but don't freeze the meat solid. This step makes the grinding step easier. Bring out the grinder and fit it with the coarse plate. Work the pork and pancetta through and then change the plate to the finer one. Work through again.", "In a large bowl place the meat and kind of spread it out for seasoning. Add the bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup, the herbs and spices including salt and pepper.", "With a couple of large spoons blend this all together. Get a tap of hot water running because you are going to finish mixing this with your clean hands and this mix can get sticky.", "Heat up a small skillet and spoon out a \"tester\"". You need to taste for seasoning so fry up that spoonful and see if it meets your inner umami (and that's not your mommy). Adjust as needed.""
