Elevate your grilling game with this delicious Low Carb Chevapchichi recipe, a keto-friendly spin on the classic Balkan dish. Made with a perfectly blended mix of ground beef and pork, these juicy, flavorful sausages are infused with bold spices like paprika, cayenne pepper, and garlic, delivering a savory bite that's hard to resist. A hint of mineral water ensures the meat stays tender and succulent, while olive oil sears the Chevapchichi to golden perfection. Ready in just 25 minutes, this dish is ideal for busy weeknights or backyard barbecues. Pair it with a crisp tomato salad or a refreshing low-carb slaw for a satisfying and guilt-free meal thatβs packed with protein and bursting with flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork. Mix well to blend the meats together evenly.
Add the minced garlic and grated onion to the meat mixture. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle in the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix thoroughly, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Dissolve the baking soda in the mineral water. Pour this into the meat mixture and knead the mixture by hand until it becomes homogeneous.
Once the mixture is well-combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
After marinating, use your hands to shape the meat mixture into small, finger-length sausages, about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Chevapchichi to the skillet.
Cook the Chevapchichi on each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through.
Serve hot with a side of your choice, like a refreshing tomato salad or low-carb slaw.
