How to make
Place minced meat in a deep cookware. Add the paprika, black pepper, oil, cumin, baking powder, carbonated water and salt.
Finely chop or blend the cleaned red onion and garlic in a blender. Add them to the minced meat. Knead the minced meat for about 20 minutes.
Leave the minced meat in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
When ready, shape the cevapcici (about 4″ (10 cm) long and 0.6″ (1.5 cm) thick). The meatballs will shrink as they cook, so keep this in mind when shaping them.
Arrange them on a greased plate and cover them with cling film. Store them in the refrigerator overnight.
Bake them on a greased and heated grill.
Bake them briefly (about 7 minutes per side) to preserve their juiciness.
If desired, you can add cayenne pepper in the minced meat.
The Cevapcici are very tasty.
