Cevapi
Also known as: Ćevapi
Bosnian lamb-and-beef skinless sausages with bread, onion and ajvar.

About Cevapi
Farah Celjo’s Bosanski ćevapi are skinless sausages made with lamb and beef. The named Bosnian version is served with fresh onion, lepinja bread and ajvar, the capsicum relish identified in the original.
Garlic, grated onion, paprika, salt, pepper and Vegeta season the meat. The relish adds a pepper-based accompaniment, while fresh onion provides a sharper contrast to the savoury sausages.
The meat forms short, thick cylinders with browned sides. Toasted lepinja accompanies the sausages, which the source describes as hot from the grill.
