Romanian Grilled Minced Meat Rolls (Mici or Mititei) 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 !

  • 2 pounds ground beef

  • 8 ounces chopped suet

  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon caraway seeds

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 teaspoon finely ground juniper berries

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons beef broth

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. Preheat a grill for high heat. With wet hands form the meat into rolls about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick. Brush lightly with oil.

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