Instructions

In a bowl, mix ground meat with pressed garlic, soy sauce, spices, baking soda, and mineral water. Mix thoroughly and let it rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour. After resting, shape small sausages with your hands (approximately 8-10 cm long and 2 cm thick).

Heat a pan or grill and grease it with oil. Cook the cevapcici on all sides until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. While cooking, prepare the dip - mix yogurt, pressed garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs.

Serve the cooked cevapcici with the dip, fresh bread, fries, or salad.

Tips for enhancement

For extra juiciness, you can add a spoon of yogurt directly into the meat mixture. For an authentic Balkan flavor, add a pinch of ground chili pepper. Instead of a pan, you can use a charcoal grill, which will add a great smoky aroma.
