Cevapi, also known as cevapcici, is a traditional Balkan dish of grilled minced meat, typically made from a mix of beef, pork, and lamb, seasoned with various spices like garlic, paprika, and onion. This dish has a rich history dating back to the Ottoman Empire, and it's a beloved staple in countries like Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia. The best cevapi is often found in local restaurants and street food stalls in the Balkans, where skilled chefs meticulously prepare and grill the meat to perfection. The key to great cevapi lies in the quality of the meat and the balance of spices, resulting in juicy, flavorful sausages. For an authentic experience, serve them with lepinja bread, chopped onions, and ajvar, a savory red pepper relish.
