Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef
• 500 grams ground lamb
• 1 small, finely chopped onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground lamb. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, baking soda, sea salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.

Step 3

Mix all the ingredients together until well incorporated. Ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the meat mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Once the meat mixture has chilled, divide it into 18 equal portions using your hands.

Step 6

Shape each portion into a long sausage shape, about 3 inches in length, by rolling the meat between your palms.

Step 7

Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates or grill pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the Cevapcici on the grill, ensuring enough space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 9

Cook the Cevapcici for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the Cevapcici from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot with a side of fresh vegetables, salad, or your favorite Whole30-compliant sauce.
