Directions
1.
Preheat a grill pan. In a large bowl, using your hands, mix the ground pork with the paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Form the pork into twelve 1/2-inch-thick patties. Grill the pork patties over moderate heat, turning once, until they are cooked through, about 8 minutes total.
2.
Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the Dijon mustard, pickles, and shallot and season with salt and pepper. Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the baguettes.
3.
Place 3 pork patties on the bottom of each baguette and top with the lettuce, tomato, and a few splashes of hot sauce. Close the sandwiches and serve.
