Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 60 milliliters Mineral water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Add paprika, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.
Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture and pour in the mineral water. This helps tenderize the meat.
Mix everything thoroughly with your hands until all spices and ingredients are evenly combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and divide it into equal portions (about 16-20 pieces for small sausages).
Shape each portion into small sausage-like shapes using your hands.
Preheat a grill pan or barbecue over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil.
Grill the Cevapcici for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are evenly browned and cooked through.
Serve hot, accompanied by a simple green salad or a low-carb vegetable side dish.
