Romania Pork and Lamb Sausage / Mititei |
|
Serves: 4 Print this RecipeROMANIA Advance Preparation: 2 to 4 hours for chilling the patties Mititei are skinless sausages popular in Romania. Legend credits La Iordachi restaurant in Bucharest as their birthplace. One particularly busy night, the story goes, the kitchen ran out of regular sausages, so ground pork and lamb were mixed and patted into short, stubby sausage shapes (mititei means "little" in Romanian) and grilled without casings. The blend of spices used, including caraway, allspice, and cloves, makes this one of the most interesting ground meat dishes around. Some people like to use beef instead of pork; in either case, the meat shouldn’t be too lean. 12 ounces ground pork or beef 12 ounces ground lamb shoulder 1 onion, small, minced as fine as possible 2 cloves garlic, minced as fine as possible 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or more to taste 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon papadoms, , hot or sweet, preferably imported 1/2 teaspoon marjoram, dried 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground, or more to taste 1/4 teaspoon allspice, ground Pinch cloves, ground 1. Combine the pork, lamb, onion, garlic, oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, the baking soda, paprika, marjoram, caraway seeds, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the allspice, and cloves in a large bowl. Knead and squeeze the mixture with your hands until thoroughly blended, 3 to 4 minutes. To test the mixture for seasoning, sauté a small amount of it in a nonstick skillet until cooked through, then taste, adding salt or pepper to the remaining mixture as necessary; it should be highly seasoned. 2. Lightly oil a large plate. Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Lightly wet your hands with cold water, then roll each portion between your palms to form sausage shapes about 1 inch in diameter and 3 1/2 inches long. Place the mititei as they are made on the prepared plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate them for 2 to 4 hours. 3. Preheat the grill to high. 4. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the mititei on the hot grate and grill, turning with a spatula, until nicely browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes in all. Serve immediately.
