MITITEI - ROMANIAN BEEF SAUSAGE ROLLS



Mititei - Romanian Beef Sausage Rolls image

Making these is a good reason to fire up the grill! This is one time not to use the leanest beef. Get a high fat content ground chuck and you will enjoy mititei that will not taste dry. The fat drips away while they grill. The baking soda helps to "puff" up the meat. Good served with rice pilaf or just in a hot dog bun.
