Mix ground beef and ground lamb in a large bowl until well combined.

Finely chop onion and garlic, then add to the meat mixture.

Season the mixture with paprika, black pepper, salt, and baking soda.

Add a small amount of water to the mixture for moisture and mix thoroughly.

Shape the mixture into small, finger-sized sausages.

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

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

Place the shaped ćevapi on the grill or skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve with flatbread, sour cream, chopped parsley, and sliced red onion.

Accompany with ajvar on the side for dipping.
