Instructions

  1. Finely grate the onion and crush the garlic, then mix them with the minced pork and beef.
  2. Add the salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, thyme, baking soda and sparkling water, then knead for 5 minutes until the mixture is well combined.
  3. Cover and leave the mixture in the fridge for at least 1 hour so the flavours develop.
  4. Wet your hands and shape sausages about 10 cm long around wooden skewers that have been soaked in water beforehand.
  5. Heat the barbecue or a grill pan over high heat.
  6. Cook the frigărui for 10 to 12 minutes, turning them regularly, until nicely browned and cooked through.
  7. Serve hot, wrapped in the bread, with raw onion rings and mustard.

Variations and tips

Lamb version. Replace the beef with minced lamb for a more pronounced flavour.
