Easy, homemade Cevapi
Travel and food go together. I enjoyed these in Croatia and Bosnia
Cevapi
Balkan Sausage Sandwiches
Ingredients
3 lbs ground meat any combination of beef, pork or lamb
1 egg white
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
0 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, depending on desired spice level
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Directions
In a large bowl, combine ground meat, egg white, salt, soda and spices and mix with hands until well blended.
Form into finger length sausages, ¾ inch thick and arrange in a chillable container. Separate layers with wax paper as needed.
Chill at least one hour or up to one day. This will allow flavors to be incorporated and will firm the sausages.
Preheat a grill.
Grill cevapi until thoroughly cooked, turning as needed.
Place 4-5 grilled sausages inside a Lepinja (Balkan flatbread)
Garnish with chopped red onion and ajvar
