Ingredients
- 400 grams Ground beef
- 200 grams Ground pork
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 50 ml Mineral water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork. Mix well to blend the meats together evenly.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic and grated onion to the meat mixture. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Dissolve the baking soda in the mineral water. Pour this into the meat mixture and knead the mixture by hand until it becomes homogeneous.
Step 5
Once the mixture is well-combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 6
After marinating, use your hands to shape the meat mixture into small, finger-length sausages, about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Step 7
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Chevapchichi to the skillet.
Step 8
Cook the Chevapchichi on each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through.
Step 9
Serve hot with a side of your choice, like a refreshing tomato salad or low-carb slaw.
