Mititei (Romanian Minced Meat Rolls)

• 250 g ground pork
• 250 g minced beef
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 34 teaspoon harissa
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 12 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 12 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 12 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon soaked and ground caraway
• 1 teaspoon marjoram
• salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 12 teaspoon allspice (optional)
• meat stock or chicken stock (optional) or vegetable stock, for basting (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, for frying

1. Combine all the ingredients, apart from the olive oil and stock, together in a large mixing bowl.
2. Knead together for about five minutes - the ingredients need to be very well combined.
3. Divide the mixture into small handfuls and roll into small sausage shapes.
4. Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed frying pan or griddle.
5. Cook the sausages over a medium heat for 20-30 minutes, or until cooked through.
6. Turn them several times during cooking and baste with a little stock to keep them moist, if you like.
7. Serve with mustard.
