Mici

Mititei or mici ( Romanian pronunciation: [mit͡ʃʲ]; both Romanian words meaning "little ones", "small ones") is a traditional dish from Romanian cuisine, consisting of grilled ground meat rolls made from a mixture of beef and lamb and pork, with spices such as garlic, black pepper, thyme, coriander, anise, savory, and sometimes a touch of paprika. Sodium bicarbonate and broth or water are also added to the mixture. It is similar to ćevapi and other ground meat-based dishes throughout the Balkans and the Middle East. It is often served with mustard, french fries and murături (pickled vegetables). A popular story claims that 'mici' or 'mititei' were invented in the late 14th century and that they originated from the Ottoman Empire.
