Subj : Romanian Mititei Sausages To : All From : Ben Collver Date : Thu Dec 25 2025 07:55 am MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Mititei (Romanian Sausages) Categories: Romanian, Sausages Yield: 12 Sausages 4 cl Garlic; up to 5, peeled 1 1/2 ts Salt 1/4 c Water 1/2 ts Whole dried thyme 1 ts Baking soda 1/2 ts Dried basil 1/2 c Beef Stock or use canned 1 ts Black pepper; freshly ground 2/3 lb Coarsely ground pork 1 lb Ground chuck Pearl Mailath, a Romanian friend in Indiana, invited us into her home for a real Romanian meal. This was before Romania erupted into what we hope will be independence. As she cooked these delicious sausages, we talked politics. I think the discussion made the sausages taste even better. These are great cooked on the outdoor grill. Crush the garlic well in the water, using a fork. Stir in the meat, baking soda, seasonings, and garlic puree together. Add Beef Stock and mix well. For each sausage, take 1/3 cup of the meat mixture, and roll between the palms of your hands into a sausage shape about 4 inches long. Place sausages side by side in a container and cover. Refrigerate overnight so the flavors can blend. These are excellent on the grill. They may also be broiled or baked in the oven. Broil the sausages about 3 minutes per side until cooked through and browned. Hint: When hand rolling sasuages or meatballs of any kind, keep a small bowl of water near you so that you can keep your hands a bit wet. This way, the meat will not stick to your hands.
