Cooking my favorite Romanian food (MICI) for my Canadian family 🇷🇴 🇨🇦

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

ground lamb

🥗Healthier: ground chicken

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground chicken offers a lighter option, while ground beef is widely available.

baking soda

🥗Healthier: baking powder

💰Cheaper: none

Baking powder can serve as a leavening agent.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth is lighter, and water with seasoning is cost-effective.

Mix ground beef and ground pork in a bowl.

Add thyme, garlic powder, nutmeg, cumin, black pepper, salt, and baking soda to the meat mixture.

Pour in beef stock and 50 ml of beer, then mix everything together thoroughly.

Shape the meat mixture into sausages, about the size of a finger.

Refrigerate the shaped sausages for 5-6 hours to help them hold together while grilling.

Preheat the barbecue and prepare it with oil to prevent sticking.

Grill the sausages for about 3-3.5 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown.

Check the internal temperature to ensure they are cooked properly.
