The ULTIMATE Bosnian Food Tour in Sarajevo - BOSNIAN CEVAPI + Balkan Food in Bosnia & Herzegovina

ground lamb

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is leaner and more affordable.

flatbread

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pita

💰Cheaper: store-bought naan

Whole wheat pita adds fiber while naan is often less expensive.

Mix ground beef and ground lamb in a large bowl.

Add minced garlic, finely chopped onion, paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking soda to the meat mixture.

Knead the mixture until well combined and sticky, about 5 minutes.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Shape the meat mixture into small, finger-sized sausages, about 3-4 inches long.

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet surface to prevent sticking.

Place the cevapi on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

Remove cevapi from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Serve cevapi in warm flatbread with chopped onions, sour cream, and red pepper flakes.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
