  2. Put the fennel and all of the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and stir until well mixed.
  3. Sprinkle the spice mixture all over the ground meat and then mix well until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat. Refrigerate for 8-24 hours to let the spices mix into the meat.
