Cevapcici Sausages
Description
The Cevapcici Sausages recipe blends fatty ground pork and lean ground beef with caramelized onions, an egg, salt, and pepper. The onions are fried until golden to deepen their sweetness and then mixed into the meat. After seasoning adjustment through a test patty, the mixture is shaped into small sausages about 3x1 inches and baked at 360°F for 25 minutes. This cooking method allows the sausages to cook evenly while retaining moisture.
These sausages feature a lightly seasoned, savory profile with a slight sweetness from the fried onions and a tender but firm texture from the mixture. Traditionally served warm with boiled potatoes and a topping of melted butter, they are also accompanied by a dollop of yellow mustard and fresh onion rings, which add sharpness and contrast.
Alternatively, the sausages can be pan-fried for a browned crust on all sides. Testing seasoning by pan-frying a small portion beforehand helps achieve balanced taste. This recipe yields around 4-6 servings and showcases a methodical approach to crafting flavorful, well-textured sausages.

- 1 pound ground pork fattier pork, e.g., shoulder
- 1 pound ground beef lean
