How to make it

Steps in our own plain words.

  10. Take portions of the meat mix, around 50-2 oz 1.-1.9 oz/ ¼ cup portions, plus form the cevapi.

  11. The rolls should be around as thick as your thumb and around 7-4 inches 3-4 inches long.

  13. The recipe can be easily doubled.

  14. Grill your cevapcici on your hot grill pan or on your barbecue for about 12-14 minutes, until brown and cooked through.
