Croatian Cevapi

My Croatian husband loves cevapi, so I tried making some for him and he loved them. I made it with beef and veal, which I know is not traditional, but it was so delicious! This recipe has become a staple in our house!

Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • ½ pound lean ground beef

  • ½ pound ground veal

  • ½ cup dry bread crumbs

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tablespoons soda water

  • 1 tablespoon seasoning blend (such as Vegeta®)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste


Directions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Combine beef, veal, bread crumbs, onion, egg, soda water, seasoning blend, garlic, baking soda, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well. Shape into small sausages and place on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill sausages until browned, about 5 minutes per side.

Cook's Note:

Use ground lamb or pork in the meat mixture if desired. You can shape the mixture into round patties for easier flipping.

You can pan-fry the patties in oil instead of grilling them, if preferred.
