In different regions of Southeastern Europe and the Balkan countries, chevapchichi is prepared in different ways. For example, in Bosnia, sausages are short and thick and are prepared from ground beef, Serbian chevapchichi are made from beef, lamb and (or) pork, Croatian and Bulgarian sausages are usually thinner and longer and are prepared from pork with beef. 

Baking soda is present in the ingredients for a reason. It is she who helps to create the right texture and the stuffing turns out elastic and beautiful. 

Initially, chevapchichi is a street food that is cooked on coals. To make the sausages convenient to eat, they are served with tortillas called lepinya and seasoned with Ivar sauce (the recipe can be viewed HERE ).

Bon appetit!

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper). 

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
