Cevapcici (Grilled Lamb & Beef Meatballs)

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp. lard (or butter)
• 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 1 lb ground lamb
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten
• 1 Tbsp. sweet Hungarian paprika
• 2 Tbsp. onions, finely chopped

Heat the butter or lard in a small frying pan and when it starts to foam add the onions and garlic. Fry, stirring occassionally, until soft, around 6 to 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the lamb, beef, egg and spices in a bowl. When ready, add the onion and garlic mixture. Mix well. Shape into small cylinders, approximately 1" x 2" and arrange in a plate. Cover with plastic wrap, wax paper or a towell and refrigerate for one hour to one day, to let the flavors settle and the mixture become firm.

Arrange the cevapcici on skewers about 1/4" apart from each other. Grill or pan fry in medium heat until done to your preference. Serve sprinkled with chopped onions and accompanied with pita bread.
