About the dish
Mici, meaning “little ones”, are short skinless rolls of minced beef, often mixed with lamb or pork and seasoned with garlic, thyme, black pepper and paprika. Stock and a little bicarbonate of soda are worked into the mixture, which makes them especially juicy and springy once grilled. Romanians cook them on May Day, at fairs and at summer garden gatherings, and serve them with mustard, bread and chips or pickled vegetables. At roadside grills and markets they are one of the most ordered dishes.
