Mititei is a traditional Romanian dish that is particularly popular in the Bucharest area and surrounding regions. It consists of marinated beef or lamb skewers grilled over an open flame, often served with pita bread, pickles, and a side of garlic sauce.
Recipe for Mititei:
Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef or lamb
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– 1/4 tsp cumin
– 1 bunch of fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
– Wooden skewers
Instructions:
- Marinate the Meat: In a large bowl, mix together minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Add the ground meat to the bowl and toss until well coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Prepare Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes before use to prevent them from burning during grilling. Divide the marinated meat into small, equal-sized portions that will fit on each skewer (about 6-8 pieces per skewer).
Grill Mititei: Preheat your grill or a large skillet with some oil over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated meat onto the prepared skewers, ensuring to leave enough space for even cooking. Grill the mititei for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until they are well-grilled and nicely charred.
Serve: Serve hot, typically with pita bread, a side of pickles (often sour plums or carrots), and a dollop of garlic sauce made from crushed garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs if desired. Enjoy the rich flavors of this traditional Romanian dish!
