Cevapi · Sarajevo

Sarajevo cevapi are finger-shaped beef sausages grilled and served in a dry somun with chopped onion and kajmak; ten pieces is a common order.

The word cevap comes through Ottoman Turkish kebap. Wikipedia dates the present Sarajevo form to the 1950s and 1960s, when Ferhatovic and Mrkva (1963) were among the first cevabdzinice. Ferhatovic says its family opened Sarajevo's first one in 1957 and Petica in 1984, during the Winter Olympics. In August 2024 Sarajevski cevapi, made in Sarajevo Canton from fresh beef and salt, received protected geographical indication in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
