Livada Mititei Seasoning Mix, Serbian Spice Blend 20g (0.7oz)

Livada Mititei Seasoning Mix is a 20g packet of the traditional spice blend for mititei from Livada — the Serbian-market herb and seasoning brand — providing the characteristically caraway-forward, garlic-and-pepper seasoning mix kneaded into the ground meat for the Romanian and Serbian grilled sausage without a casing that has been one of the most beloved Balkan grill foods for over a century. Livada is a Serbian herb and spice brand producing dried herbs and spice mixes calibrated for the Balkan kitchen, and the mititei seasoning represents the brand's approach to packaging the specific blend — caraway, black pepper, garlic, and the bicarbonate of soda that gives mititei their characteristic springy, slightly airy texture — in a ready-to-use packet that removes the need for the home cook to assemble individual spices. Mititei (also called mici in Romanian) are the quintessential Balkan grill food: small, finger-shaped sausages made from a blend of beef and sometimes pork or lamb, seasoned specifically with caraway and garlic and without a casing, grilled over charcoal and eaten with mustard, bread, and cold beer in the context running from the Romanian outdoor market to the Serbian kafana grill to the diaspora backyard barbecue that recreates the home-country grilling culture. Knead into a blend of ground beef and pork with the Livada packet and a pinch of bicarbonate of soda, shape into small finger sausages without casing, grill over high heat until charred on the outside and juicy within, and serve with sharp mustard, fresh bread, and cold beer in the traditional Balkan grill setting.
