Romanian Grilled Minced Meat Rolls (MICI) are great when grilled, but you could roast or pan-fry. Serve hot with good Italian bread and mustard accompanied by a cold beer. It is great for backyard parties. My friends just love it !

Directions

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, suet, baking soda, caraway seeds, garlic, salt, pepper and juniper berries using your hands. Mix with your hands for about 15 minutes, adding a little bit of the water at a time. This part can be made a few hours ahead of time if you like.

  • Grill the meat for 5 to 10 minutes, basting frequently with a mixture of beef broth and any remaining oil, until well done.

I made this but replaced the suet with fresh ground pork and it was unbelievably delicious! I served it at a BBQ party and my family and friends went crazy for them. Serving with crusty bread mustard and cold beer is spot on perfect! Read More

These are amazing! I found the suet kept them moist. I only gave four stars as it is easy to overwork the meat. It really needs to be lightly mixed to work. This should have been mentioned in the recipe. Read More

This was very good and pretty easy to make. I did make two substitutions through. I used ground pork instead of suet and a rosemary/lemon juice mixture instead of juniper berries. Still really yummy on the grill served with rolls and potato salad! Thanks! Read More

This tasted great! I didn't have chopped suet but I added ground pork as per other reviewers' suggestions. I also didn't have ground juniper berries but added thyme. Will make again and again for sure! Hoping to find ground juniper berries soon. Thank you for this delicious recipe. Read More
