Ćevapi

Ćevapi are grilled cylinders of minced beef or mixed meats, eaten throughout Serbia and elsewhere in the Balkans. Serbia’s tourism organisation highlights the versions from Novi Pazar and Leskovac. They are served in small lepinja breads with onion and yogurt or sour milk.^[1]

Kevin’s home recipe combines beef with lamb or pork, garlic, sweet paprika, black pepper, salt, water and baking soda. The mixture is shaped into short cylinders and grilled until browned. His suggested accompaniments include lepinja, pita or lavash, sliced onion and ajvar, a roasted red-pepper relish.^[2]
