Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground lamb
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, and ground pork until evenly mixed.
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, salt, and baking soda to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a sturdy spoon.
Add the water and olive oil to the mixture and knead it until the texture becomes sticky and cohesive. This step helps the meat sticks hold together during cooking.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grates to prevent sticking.
While the grill is heating, shape the meat mixture into small sausages—about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Place the meat sticks onto the preheated grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even cooking. The exterior should be nicely charred while the inside remains juicy.
Once cooked, remove the chevapchici from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with traditional accompaniments such as flatbread, chopped onions, ajvar (pepper spread), or a dollop of sour cream.
