Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 250 grams Ground lamb
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 125 milliliters Water
- 50 milliliters Beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Coriander, ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Allspice, ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and ground lamb. Mix well until the meats are evenly blended.
Step 2
Incorporate the minced garlic, baking soda, water, and beef broth into the meat mixture. This will enhance the flavor and tenderness of the mici.
Step 3
Add salt, black pepper, thyme, paprika, coriander, allspice, and cayenne pepper to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the meat mixture from the refrigerator and shape into small sausages, about 3 inches (7.5 cm) long and 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter.
Step 7
Place the mici on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until they are nicely browned and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the mici from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the low-carb Romanian mici hot with mustard or alongside a fresh garden salad for a delightful meal.
