Ćevapčići with Pepper Purée

Serves 4
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Difficulty: easy

Ingredients
4 garlic cloves
4 onions
6 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp mild pepper purée (jar)
3 tsp hot paprika
3 tsp sweet paprika
1 kg ćevapčići meat mixture
Salt
Pepper

To serve: fresh peppers and tomatoes, olive oil and herb vinegar

Preparation
Finely chop the garlic and dice the onions. Sauté both in a little hot olive oil. Add the pepper purée and both paprikas and fry briefly. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool.
Knead the ćevapčići meat mixture with the cooled onion mixture, salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning if necessary. With lightly oiled hands, form about 24 rolls, each about 8 cm long, and thread them onto 8 wooden skewers.
Heat about 2 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and brown the skewers on all sides over medium heat for 8–10 minutes.
Finely chop fresh tomatoes and peppers and dress with olive oil and herb vinegar. Serve with the ćevapčići and a little of the cooking oil.
