I enjoy making my own sausage and trying the different flavor combinations used in different cuisines. This one is a beef sausage with lots of garlic as well as allspice and cloves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a Humaciu family recipe that I got from my mother in law, who I am assuming got it from her Romanian mother in law. Mititei translates to \"little meats\". They are small sausages, without casings, that are a staple of Romanian cookouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mititei are basically mini hamburgers that are shaped into short little rolls (think breakfast sausages only thicker) instead of flat patties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my favorite parts of this sausage recipe is NO CASINGS<\/strong>! You can read about my sausage stuffing adventures<\/a> in this post. Not hard, just time consuming and not worth the effort to do anything but a large batch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these are simple and quick to make, they really benefit from sitting overnight, or longer, in the fridge to let the flavors meld together. So, plan accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What fat percentage beef should I use?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The original recipe calls for grinding your own rump roast. For those that don't have the time or equipment, just get some ground beef at the store like I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rump roast is in the 25% or more fat range. I went with 20% and wouldn't recommend going lower than 15% or they could get dry when grilling. <\/p>\n\n\n
