Cevapchichi (ћevapchiћi, Serb.) - meat sausages originally from Serbia. Chevapchichi are prepared easily and in a variety of ways: from frying in a pan to cooking on the grill. At home, the easiest way to cook Serbian
sausages - bake chevapchichi in the oven.
It is necessary
- - minced meat - 300 g
- - onions - 100 g
- - garlic - 1 clove
- - salt, black pepper - to taste
- - mineral water - 1 tbsp.
- - water - 1 glass
Instructions
Step 1
To prepare chevapchichi, you can take minced beef, or a mixture of beef and pork in equal parts.
It is better to grind the meat in a meat grinder with a large grill. If you are taking ready-made minced meat from the store, add onions and garlic, peeled and chopped with a fine grater. If you're making minced meat at home, mince the vegetables along with the meat.
Sometimes chopped paprika is added to Serbian sausages. The pepper can be minced along with the rest of the products or a finely chopped pod can be added to the minced meat.
Step 2
Pour one tablespoon of highly carbonated mineral water into the meat prepared in this way. This simple ingredient will add fluffiness to the sausages during the baking process. Season the meat with salt and pepper according to your taste. Mix all components of the minced meat thoroughly.
Step 3
Further, the mass must be properly recaptured. This must be done so that the chevapchichi do not fall apart at the stage of product formation. The minced meat is repulsed as follows: we take the meat from the bowl with our hand, swing it a little and throw it with force on the table. At the same time, make sure that the meat does not fly to the sides, work carefully. Beat the minced meat for about 10 to 15 minutes. After beating off the minced meat, put it tightly in a bowl and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours. After this reception, the meat will become denser, more elastic, when baked, it forms a golden brown crust on the outside, while remaining juicy on the inside. Although this condition is not required, if there is no time, then it will be enough just to beat off the minced meat.
Step 4
After the specified time has elapsed, you can begin to form chevapchichi. This is done in two ways: using a special device or by hand. The upper part of a plastic bottle, cut about 10 cm below the neck, can act as a special device for forming a chevapchichi. Minced meat is placed in the wide part and the sausage is squeezed out through the neck with the help of fingers. Or the whole minced meat is divided into 10 - 12 parts and thin long sausages, about 10 cm long, are formed on a greased table with your hands.
Step 5
Pour water into a baking dish and place the cevapcichi in one layer. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes at 180 degrees.
