Grill tips
Preheat your grill:
Make sure your grill is properly preheated before you start cooking. This allows for even cooking and helps to prevent sticking.
Clean the grill grates:
Clean grill grates are essential for preventing food from sticking and for getting those desirable grill marks. Use a wire brush to scrub the grates before cooking.
Oil the grill grates:
Before cooking, lightly oil the grill grates to create a non-stick surface. Use tongs and a folded paper towel dipped in oil to grease the grates.
And what do I do with ćevapčići:
Place the ćevapčići directly over the heat source on the grill. Cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Don't overcrowd the grill:
Leave space between pieces of food on the grill to allow for even cooking and to prevent steaming. Overcrowding can lead to unevenly cooked food.
Use different heat zones:
Learn to create different heat zones on your grill. Have a hot zone for searing, a medium zone for cooking through, and a cooler zone for keeping food warm or for slow cooking.
Keep the meat under a lid:
If you're preparing food for a bigger group of people, you probably won't be able to make everything at once. Make sure to keep the meat under a lid to ensure it stays juicy and warm.
Serve:
Be creative! Ćevapčići can be served with potato fries, inside a flatbread as a sandwich, with a salad on the side... If you want to go the traditional route, we suggest plating the cevapcici with warm lepinja (flatbread), chopped onions, ajvar, and a side of sour cream!
