Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams lean ground beef
- 200 grams lean ground pork
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- olive oil spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef and lean ground pork until well blended.
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, ground black pepper, salt, and baking soda to the meat mixture.
Gently mix in the sparkling water and chopped fresh parsley until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the mixture to rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, shape the meat mixture into small sausage-like shapes, about 3 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.
Lightly spray the grill with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Place the chevapchichi onto the hot grill and cook for approximately 7 minutes on each side, or until they are thoroughly cooked and have a slight char on the outside.
Once cooked through, remove the chevapchichi from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes such as grilled vegetables, pita bread, or a fresh salad.
