What it is
Popular grilled dishes made from seasoned minced meat (beef, lamb, or pork), shaped into small sausages (ćevapi) or a large patty (pljeskavica). Served hot off the grill.
Key ingredients
Minced beef (often mixed with lamb or pork), spices (paprika, salt, pepper), onions (raw, chopped).
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit the traditional lepinja (flatbread) and any french fries. Ask for extra raw onions and optionally a side salad with oil and vinegar.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Molim Ćevape bez lepinje i pomfrita. Dodatno luka, molim. I jedna zelena salata sa uljem i sirćetom.
I'd like the Ćevapi without lepinja or fries. Please add extra raw onions. A side salad with oil and vinegar would be great.
Watch out for
Lepinja (bread), french fries, Ajvar (pepper spread, can be sweet), excess raw onion (manageable portion-wise).
