A tender and flavorful preparation of Serbian cevapi using a slow-roasting technique instead of grilling.

Method

In a bowl, mix the mince with onion, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and cumin.
Shape the mixture into 12-16 sausage-like shapes on skewers.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the cevapi for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Caramelize sliced onions in a separate pan until golden brown.
Place the cevapi in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes until the meat reaches 71°C (160°F).
Serve the cevapi with flatbread, onions, and a side of kajmak or sour cream.
