Cevapi Sliders
Cevapi is a traditional Balkan grilled sausage made with ground beef and lamb which is usually paired with Ajvar and Kajmak.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 50 ml water
- 2 tablespoon oil for frying
- salt to taste
- Ajvar side ingredients
- pickled red onions side ingredients
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add ground beef and lamb, garlic, paprika, black pepper powder, baking soda, water and salt, and mix well to form a smooth texture. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or large zip lock bag and place it in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Once the mixture has firmed up in the freezer, cut a 1 inch diameter at the end of the zip lock bag or use a piping bag to squeeze out the mixture onto the cutting board in a 2 to 3 inch cylindrical shape sausage.
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet or a frying pan on medium to high heat. Place the cevapi in the pan and let it fry for 6 to 8 minutes, until you see a crust on the outer layer. Toss the cevapi occasionally for an even sear. Set it aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice up some homemade dinner rolls, spoon over ajvar and pickled onions to form your cevapi sliders.
