👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly by hand until well combined and slightly sticky.
2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the meat mixture for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Once chilled, shape the mixture into small, finger-sized sausages, about 5-7 cm long and 2 cm thick. Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking if needed.
4. Preheat a grill or a heavy-bottomed pan to medium-high heat. Grill the cevapi for 2-3 minutes per side, turning frequently, until evenly browned and cooked through.
5. Serve the hot cevapi immediately with fresh somun (pita bread), finely chopped raw onion, and a generous dollop of ajvar.
