What it is

The small, juicy fingers of Sarajevo: skinless minced-beef sausages grilled over charcoal, served in somun bread with onions and kajmak — five or ten, never in between worth mentioning. Ingredients: beef (and a little lamb in some towns), salt, garlic, black pepper, baking soda (for texture), somun flatbread, kajmak, raw onions, ajvar (optional). Recipe: 1) Mince and season; knead; rest overnight. 2) Shape into small cylinders. 3) Grill hot and fast, turning, until charred at the edges. 4) Warm the somun on the grill; stuff with ćevapi and onions. Serve: with kajmak and a glass of yogurt drink; Banja Luka's are wide, Travnik's spiced, Sarajevo's the gold standard. Flavor: smoky, garlicky, beefy purity. History: ćevapi arrived with Ottoman kebab culture and were perfected in Sarajevo's Baščaršija; the city's ćevabdžinica grills are national monuments of a sort.
