Savor the authentic flavors of the Balkans with this irresistible Gluten-Free Chevapchichi recipe. Made with a savory blend of ground beef and pork, seasoned to perfection with garlic, paprika, and a hint of cayenne, these grilled sausage-like delicacies are a deliciously protein-packed option for everyone, including those avoiding gluten. Enhanced with gluten-free breadcrumbs and a touch of baking soda for a tender texture, the mixture is left to rest for deeper flavor development before being shaped and grilled to golden perfection. Quick to prepare and ready in just 30 minutes, these juicy, gluten-free chevapchichi are perfect for a casual barbecue or served alongside a fresh salad or gluten-free flatbread for a hearty meal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef and ground pork.
Add minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and ground cayenne pepper to the meat mixture.
Stir in finely diced onion, baking soda, gluten-free breadcrumbs, and mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
Gradually add water to the mixture, ensuring it remains workable but not too wet.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to enhance the flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium-high heat and lightly coat it with olive oil.
With wet hands, shape the meat mixture into small sausage-like cylinders, about 10 cm in length and 2 cm in diameter.
Place the chevapchichi on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally to brown evenly on all sides.
Once cooked through, remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
Serve the gluten-free chevapchichi hot with your choice of side dishes.
