I’m from Sarajevo, where ćevapi or ćevapčići originate, and are the best of all other copy-cats. This is the original Sarajevo recipe: Grams Percentage Meat (total) 1000.00 Ground Veal 700.00 70.00% Ground Lamb 300.00 30.00% Salt 10.00 1.00% Black Peper 2.20 0.22% Baking Soda 2.44 0.24% Mineral Water 100.00 10.00% Few Garlic cloves Crush garlic and boil it for 3 minutes in 5-6 TBSP of water Drain and preserve liquid. You can throw away boiled garlic, or eat it - it's yummy Mix everything well and leave it in the refregerator over night Next day, create finger-shaped links 5 cm long Grill on medium heated grill, mixing them gently from time to time Serve them on Somun or Ciabatta bread with diced onion or green onion on a side, and yoghurt. Ajvar is a bonus.

Nice but, That's not original traditional ,you puting to many ingredients ,sometime less is more ,but if your family likes that way is all good. Is ma always impressed that actually people accept our side of recipe and thank you for that . I am from central Bosnia we make without pork meat it make the Čevapi to greasy ,instead we put only 10% lamb or veal ,then salt, pepper,smoked fine ground paprika,One glas club soda and bread crumbs. If you already like tast of garlic try to chop garlic and onion night before cover with 1-2 glas od water and just strain the water out and put in the mix but don't put the garlic inside your meat bc garlic burns fest on the grill it changes everything. And after needing and mixing leave to rest for 1-2 hours in fridge then the Čevapi. I mean ia know is not really fest process but if you prep some of ingredients night before still you can grill them in 20 minutes. Grill and serve with Ajvar( I-y war) or Kajmak on home made bread Lepinje. Where ever you buy Ajvar ask for Lepinje , and cold Beer 🍺 enjoy and Živio😆😉

Nate of little faith, of course we know what 60 means, and definitely a fan of cheap. Haven't ordered in years (because I really stocked up and I don't have as much time to smoke anymore) but cigar auctioneer is great, way back I got around 200 for an average of $1.67 a stick. Some good (got a lot of nub, mostly test flights so a variety of the other high end brands) some bad (lots of yard sticks, got to try a bunch of shit brands, however I'm not mowing anymore so I can't go through 3 a day while working like I used to) some medium (Olore is my all time favorite given the price point, both are good but I usually prefer the maduro). Maybe tmi but maybe I help someone save a fortune....or maybe I help someone spend a fortune, idk.
