Ingredients

  • For the Meat Mixture:
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sparkling water (or cold water)
  • For Serving:

  • Sliced onions
  • Ajvar (a red pepper relish)

Instructions

Prepare the Meat Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork.

Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, baking soda, paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Pour in the sparkling water (or cold water) and mix everything thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky.

Shape the Ćevapi

Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take small portions of the meat mixture and shape them into small, finger-sized sausages, about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.

Grill the Ćevapi

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Place the Ćevapi on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are well-browned and cooked through.

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
