Ćevapi
Ćevapi
Ćevapi is a delicious traditional dish from the Balkans, particularly popular in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, and other neighboring countries. It consists of small grilled sausages made from a mixture of ground beef, lamb, and sometimes pork. These flavorful meat sausages are typically served with traditional flatbread called somun, chopped onions, and a side of creamy kaymak or sour cream.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1/2 pound ground pork (optional)
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup sparkling water (or regular water)
- Olive oil for grilling
- Somun or pita bread (for serving)
- onions chopped (for serving)
- Kaymak or sour cream (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, and ground pork (if using).
- Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and baking soda to the meat mixture.
- Pour the sparkling water over the mixture and mix everything together thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Take a small portion of the meat mixture and shape it into a small sausage shape, about 3-4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Brush each Ćevapi sausage with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the sausages on the preheated grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through.
- While the Ćevapi are grilling, you can warm up the somun or pita bread on the grill as well.
- Serve the grilled Ćevapi with somun or pita bread, chopped onions, and a dollop of kaymak or sour cream on the side.
