In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork. Mix well to blend the meats together evenly.
Add the minced garlic and grated onion to the meat mixture. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle in the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix thoroughly, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Dissolve the baking soda in the mineral water. Pour this into the meat mixture and knead the mixture by hand until it becomes homogeneous.
Once the mixture is well-combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
After marinating, use your hands to shape the meat mixture into small, finger-length sausages, about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Chevapchichi to the skillet.
Cook the Chevapchichi on each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through.
Serve hot with a side of your choice, like a refreshing tomato salad or low-carb slaw.
