Mititei with Grilled Peppers

Ingredients:

• 500 g Green or red peppers
  
• 500 g Finely minced meat (beef is usual, other meats will do fine)
  
• 2 Cloves garlic
  
• Salt and pepper
  
• 1 t Summer savory
  
• 1/2 t Allspice
  

THE DAY BEFORE: Blacken the peppers under the grill until the skin
blisters. Cool, remove the skin, de-seed the peppers, and cut them
into strips. Dress with 3 parts oil to 1 of wine vinegar, sprinkle
with a little salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Marinate overnight.

Pound the garlic with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix thoroughly with the
minced meat, the pepper, the finely chopped savory, and the allspice.
Leave for an hour or two for the flavors to blend.

When ready to cook, make sure the grill is good and hot. With wet
hands, form the meat paste into small skinless 'sausages' about 1
inch / 2.5cm thick. Brush the hot grill with oil, and cook the
mititei about a hand's width away. They should take about 7-8
minutes to cook, turned once.

Eat straight from the grill with marinated peppers on the side, and
bread.

Yield: 4 servings
