Mititei, (pronounced "mee-tee-tei") is a delicious Romanian dish. Also known as "mici," these tasty grilled sausages are made from a mixture of ground meat, usually a combination of beef and pork, along with spices like garlic, thyme, and paprika. The mixture is shaped into small sausages and then grilled to perfection. Mititei are often enjoyed with mustard, bread, and a refreshing beverage on the side.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil for brushing

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork.
  2. Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, paprika, black pepper, salt, and baking soda to the meat mixture. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. With moistened hands, take a small portion of the meat mixture and roll it into a cylindrical shape, about 8-10 cm long and 2-3 cm thick. Repeat until all the mixture is used, shaping it into around 12-15 sausages.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  5. Brush the mititei sausages with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Place the sausages on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely browned and cooked through.
  7. Once cooked, remove the mititei from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
  8. Serve the mititei hot with mustard, bread, and your favorite side dishes.
