Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground lamb
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, and ground pork until evenly mixed.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, salt, and baking soda to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a sturdy spoon.
Step 3
Add the water and olive oil to the mixture and knead it until the texture becomes sticky and cohesive. This step helps the meat sticks hold together during cooking.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
While the grill is heating, shape the meat mixture into small sausages—about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Step 7
Place the meat sticks onto the preheated grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even cooking. The exterior should be nicely charred while the inside remains juicy.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chevapchici from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with traditional accompaniments such as flatbread, chopped onions, ajvar (pepper spread), or a dollop of sour cream.
