Mititei, a tasty traditional Romanian Barbecue!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef or lamb
- 1 pound ground pork
- 3 or 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon coriander
- 2 teaspoons of caraway seeds
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda
- Salt and pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and knead until it becomes smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight, to allow flavors to blend.
