Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Lean ground beef
- 200 g Lean ground lamb
- 1 medium Red onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Whole wheat flatbreads
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, chopped red onion, minced garlic, and fresh parsley.
Add the ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt to the meat mixture.
Mix everything thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are well-incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Divide the mixture into 16 equal parts and shape each into a small sausage-shaped log, about 2 inches long.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the Cevapcici in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook each batch for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and cooked through.
While the Cevapcici are cooking, warm the whole wheat flatbreads in a separate pan or in the oven.
When all the Cevapcici are cooked, drizzle them with lemon juice for a fresh finish.
Serve the Cevapcici hot with the warmed flatbreads and your choice of Mediterranean accompaniments like tzatziki, hummus, or grilled vegetables.
