Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 60 milliliters Chilled water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb and ground beef. Mix well using your hands until fully combined.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic, finely chopped onion, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, salt, and baking soda to the meat mixture. Continue mixing with your hands to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Slowly add the chilled water into the meat mixture, kneading continuously. This helps in keeping the mixture moist and binds the ingredients together.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the meat mixture for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
Step 5
After chilling, take the meat mixture out of the fridge. Divide it into equal portions, shaping each portion into a small, finger-shaped sausage about 4 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Step 6
Lightly brush the chevapchichi with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. This will help prevent sticking during grilling.
Step 7
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chevapchichi on the grill or skillet.
Step 8
Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, turning occasionally to ensure they are cooked through and have a nice char.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the dairy-free chevapchichi with flatbread, fresh vegetables, and your favorite dairy-free dip or sauce.
