These little yummies are THE smell encountered at any Romanian Piatsa (outdoor market). They are the closest thing you find to Romanian street food. They are very flavorful and smell incredibly good while grilling.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 cup beef bouillon granules
1 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground lamb
1 teaspoon thyme
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup soda water, plain
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients except soda water and baking soda until well blended.
2. Blend in baking soda.
3. Slowly add soda water a little at a time until well combined. Mixture should be moist but not so much that it cannot hold a shape.
4. Form meat into cylindrical shapes about 2-3 inches long and 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
5. Grill (or fry but they won't be as tasty) turning every few minutes until cooked through, about 10 minutes depending on your grill).
6. Serve with a light mustard.
