The story behind
I always say that you haven't really experienced a Romanian summer until you've had Mici straight off the grill. Legend has it they were invented at a famous inn when they ran out of casings for sausages and just threw the seasoned meat on the fire. They are best enjoyed as a casual lunch or a festive dinner during a cookout. Pair them with a spicy mustard and some crusty bread. To drink? A cold, crisp lager is definitely the way to go. It’s a meal that’s all about simple pleasures and great company.
Instructions
-
1Mix the ground meats with the garlic paste, baking soda, and spices in a large bowl.
-
2Gradually add the cold beef broth while kneading the meat by hand until it becomes sticky and smooth.
-
3Let the mixture rest in the fridge for several hours—overnight is even better for the flavors to develop.
-
4With wet hands, shape the meat into small cylinders about the size of a thumb.
-
5Grill over high heat, turning them frequently so they get a nice char on the outside while staying succulent inside.
