Description
A simple recipe for traditional Macedonian grilled minced meat sausages.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500g ground beef
- 250g ground pork
- 1 small onion, finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Water for mixing
Instructions
- Combine ground beef and ground pork in a large bowl.
- Add the grated onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and baking soda to the meat mixture.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly by hand until well combined.
- Add a small amount of cold water, about 1-2 tablespoons, to the mixture and knead until the meat becomes slightly sticky.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
- Shape the meat mixture into small, finger-sized cylinders (kebapi).
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the kebapi for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Serve kebapi traditionally with chopped raw onion and a side of ajvar or pita bread.
- If you do not have a grill, you can pan-fry the kebapi in a little oil.
