"Try our version of cevapcici (also known as cevapi), the classic grilled meat patties from the Balkans that are beloved by all. Fry them in a pan or prepare them on the grill for crispy, golden brown, and juicy cevapcici. Whether you fry or grill, make sure to turn the cevapcici frequently in order to cook them evenly. Serve them in the classic way with Djuvec rice (search our recipe in the search bar!) and Ajvar, as well as yogurt and a fresh crunchy salad. They also go very well with mixed roasted or grilled vegetables."
