Traditional Romanian Food: Grilled Meats & Fish Dishes
Mici / Mititei – Rolled Meat
The words Mici & Mititei both mean “Small ones”, and mici is literally a small rolled meat. Normally made from a mix of beef, pork and lamb as well as spices that may include garlic, black pepper, thyme, and coriander. They are similar to “ฤevapi”, a rolled meat considered as a national dish in Bosnia. But Mici is the original Romanian version, supposedly invented in the 19th century, and can be found on almost every restaurant menu.
Pleลcoi Sausages
Pleลcoi Sausages are a firm, thin sausage made from mutton and spiced with garlic and chilli. They taste a little dry but are packed with flavor. Traditionally these are made by home producers in the village of Pleลcoi, and can be bought door to door. Now they are produced on a larger scale to meet demand.
What To Eat in Bucharest: Beer sausages (mild chili) – With Sun-dried Tomato Potatoes
The beer sausages are not made with beer but are made to be eaten while drinking beer as they are mildly spicy. The star of this plate though was actually the potatoes with sun dried tomatoes (ordered as a side).
