🇷🇴 Romania recipe
Mici
Mici, also known as mititei, are the heart and soul of Romanian outdoor gatherings. These small, skinless grilled sausages are made from a well-seasoned blend of beef and pork (or lamb), with baking soda giving them their signature light and fluffy texture. Charred on a hot grill and served with mustard and fresh bread, they are an irresistible staple at every Romanian barbecue.
