Method
- Chuck the meat into a mixing bowl and add the onion, garlic, paprika, black pepper, bicarbonate of soda, loads of salt and the egg. Mix well. Cover and leave in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.
- Divide the mixture into 16 and roll out each one into a 3-4 inch sausage shape. Wet your hands a little to stop the mixture sticking to your hands.
- Preheat the oven to 180 fan. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add the cevapi and cook them, turning every 1-2 minutes, until golden on two sides. Pop into the oven for 4-5 minutes to finish cooking through.
- Remove the cevapi from the pan and add 2 tbsp of water. Once bubbling, dip your bread into the pan to soak up the juices. Layer up with ajvar, onions and your cevapi and serve immediately.
