What it is
Small, elongated grilled sausages made from seasoned minced meat (usually beef, lamb, or a mix). They are a popular fast food and restaurant item, typically served with chopped raw onions.
Key ingredients

How to make it keto
Crucially, request *no lepinja* (flatbread). You can ask for extra raw onions or a simple side salad (like Kupus Salata without sugary dressing) instead of bread.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Za Ćevape, molim bez lepinje. Mogu li dobiti više sirovog luka ili običnu Kupus Salatu bez slatkog preliva?
For Ćevapi, no lepinja, please. Can I have extra raw onions or a plain Kupus Salata instead?
Watch out for
Always served with lepinja (flatbread). Ajvar (pepper spread) can be high in carbs/sugar.
