1. 01

   Combine Ingredients

   In a large bowl, bring together the ground beef and pork. Finely chop the onion and grate the garlic directly into the bowl, then add the chopped parsley, paprika, baking powder, breadcrumbs, water, the crumbled vegetable stock cube, salt, and pepper.
2. 02

   Mix and Chill

   Use a hand mixer with dough hooks to mix everything until it's well combined. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for 1 or 2 hours. This chill time helps the flavors develop and firms up the mixture, making it much easier to shape.
3. 03

   Form the Cevapi

   Take portions of the meat mixture, about 50-55 g (or about ¼ cup) each, and roll them into individual cevapi. Aim for rolls about as thick as your thumb and 7-10 cm (3-4 inches) long. You should end up with around 18 sausages.
4. 04

   Grill the Sausages

   Grill the cevapi on a hot grill pan or barbecue for about 12-14 minutes, turning them several times to get an even cook. They're ready when they're browned all over and cooked through; if you're unsure, slice into one to check for doneness.

   Serve or Reheat

   Serve the cevapi hot. If you have leftovers, reheat them in an oven set to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 10 minutes, or until they're heated through. Always check one to ensure it's hot enough before serving.
