Montenegro | Cevapi

CLICK HERE FOR THE RECIPE I USED

Montenegro, despite being tiny, had a few options I was interested in but I went with cevapi because it matched my current energy level.

Cevapi are a sort of elongated meatball. They are said to be a common street food in Montenegro and they are not at all difficult to make. Throw things in a bowl, mix, make into little sausage-shaped thingies, put in fridge for a bit, and then cook on the grill or stovetop or in the oven.

I ate them in a pita with onion and Avjar sauce (made from roasted eggplant and red peppers - I bought a jar on Amazon.) along with french fries. They were good and very filling!

I do think they could have been spiced a little more. The recipe calls for a tablespoon of paprika but I think, if I'd made a blend of smoked, hot, and regular paprika it would have had more oomph.

You could really season them any way you like and serve them with any sauce you like and they'd make decent meal.

I was satisfied with the meal but I don't know if I would make it again. Though I probably will because the smallest jar of Avjar I could get on Amazon was much more than I actually needed and I need to figure out how to use it all up.
