Romanian Mici

Romanian Mici (Garlicky Skinless Grilled Sausages), the best recipe for the grilling season. Big on flavours, super easy to make, these mici or mititei are a much-loved traditional Romanian recipe. They are also high protein, low carb and keto friendly. They are similar to the Middle-Eastern kofta, but with a unique Romanian flavour that we all adore. Best grilled or bbq-ed, and served with mustard and bread.
