Cevapi
Report
Cevapi are flavorful kebabs from Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are made from a savory blend of ground beef and lamb meat, and are grilled over a charcoal flame.

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ sweet onion minced
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ lb lamb ground
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 ½ tsp paprika
Instructions
- In a medium pan, heat up 1 tbsp olive oil. Add ½ chopped sweet onion to the pan, and saute until translucent. This should take about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, use your hands to combine all of the ingredients together (1 lb ground beef, ½ lb ground lamb, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, 2 ½ tsp onion powder, 1 ½ tsp paprika), including the cooked onions.
- Cover and let sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Using your hands, form small cevapi balls about the size of a golf ball. Then, press them into an oval shape.
- Place 3 cevapi on each skewer and set aside.
- Heat up a charcoal grill. Place the cevapi skewer on the grill, and cook them for about 5 minutes until they are browned on one side. Then, flip them over and cook them on the other side. Continue cooking until they are cooked through.
- You may also pan fry the cevapi or cook on an indoor, electric grill.
Notes
- Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork for educational or personal use only.
- I use a sweet onion. Mince it very finely, as you won’t want large pieces of onion in your meatballs
- I use 85% lean
- If you cook on an electric grill, you may need to remove them from the skewers, grill them, then put them back on the skewers at the end.
- If you don’t like chunks of onions, you can also grate them on a cheese grater and that will make them blend into the meat more
- You can cook the cevapi to your desired temperature (medium rare, well done, etc)
- Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days
- Onion: I use a sweet onion. Mince it very finely, as you won’t want large pieces of onion in your meatballs
- Ground Beef: I use 85% lean
