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