Chevapchichi sausages in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   To prepare the “Chevapchichi sausages in the oven” recipe, take minced meat, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, mineral water and plain water.

2. STEP 2

   

   If you don’t have mineral water, you only need a spoonful of it, and it’s highly carbonated - dilute a pinch of baking powder with water, let it bubble, and pour the mixture into the minced meat. The mineral water gives the meat some airiness, or at least that’s what many recipes for this dish say.

3. STEP 3

   

   The main work lies with the minced meat - add onion and garlic grated on a grater or using a special device (or mince it with the meat if we prepare the minced meat at home).

4. STEP 4

   

   Now you need to beat the meat well. we take it in parts, as many as fit into our hands, and throw it on the countertop or on the bottom of the bowl - it’s more convenient. Beat for 10-15 minutes (taken amount). Now the minced meat should ideally be refrigerated, covered with cling film, for 12-24 hours. If this is not possible, then just beat it off better. This procedure gives the minced meat elasticity, pliability and firmness.

5. STEP 5

   

   There are special devices for forming cevapchichi, but you can simply form small sausages, 10 cm in size. We form them too, tossing pieces of meat in our hands, as if beating them, molding them along the length.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the cevapchichi in a baking dish. Pour water and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   This is how chevapchichi sausages turn out in the oven! They will brown on top, but will remain juicy due to the presence of water, which can be served as a sauce.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cevapchichi sausages are ready in the oven! Bon appetit!
