Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 250 grams ground lamb
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 50 milliliters sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground lamb.
Add the smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, salt, and baking soda to the meat mixture.
Pour in the sparkling water and mix with your hands until all ingredients are evenly combined. The mixture should be sticky.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the baking soda to tenderize the meat.
After resting, remove the mixture from the fridge and start shaping your cevapcici.
With slightly wet hands, take a small portion of the meat mixture and form into small sausages about 3-4 inches long and 3/4 inch in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the cevapcici in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the cevapcici for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and have a nice brown crust.
Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the keto cevapcici hot with your favorite low-carb side or a simple salad.
