Cevapcici

I was raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.
Most of Canada's population is relatively close to the US Border.
When European immigrants arrived in Canada they generally arrived in Halifax and were shunted West away from the coast to make room for more immigrants.
Many made it by railway to Winnipeg and got off the train and called it home.
For it's population, it is incredibly diverse and that is reflected in it's food.
In 1970 Winnipeg started hosting a festival celebrating the different cultures that call Winnipeg home.
It is known as Folklorama.
This recipe was featured in the book Folk Festival Fare by Edith Cherniack 1977 Peguis Publishers Limited.
It was a popular dish in the Slovenija Pavillion
I am making it for dinner tonight.


1 lb good quality ground beef
1 lb ground pork
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp red sweet paprika
1 egg
1/4 cup red wine
2 cloves garlic minced

Mix all ingredients together and let stand 1 hour or more in refrigerator. Roll into 1" thick 2" long rolls. Barbecue or fry. Serve with Spanish onions and bread.
Cevapcici tastes better barbecued over hot coals until light brown
Pics to follow

Awesome
I think I missed that because I searched the forum for Slovenija.
And it was under Croatia.
Thanks Darko

Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia & well as others in the Balkan region all make variations. Just google cevapcici or cevapi & have fun.

This sounds very close to what a Greek gyros recipe would be like.....served in a pita with onion, cucumber and with tsatsiki sauce this would be marvelous.
