Cevapi · Belgrade
Cevapi are grilled finger-shaped minced beef-lamb skewers, the Serbian Balkan icon. Served in a half-lepinja bread with raw onion, kajmak cream cheese and ajvar relish.
Cevapi reach Belgrade through Ottoman lineage, then sharpen into the Sarajevski style of the 19th-20th century Yugoslavia and travel as economic-migration cuisine across the Balkans. The Sarajevski cut (smaller, denser, beef-lamb without seasoning visible) is the canonical form on Belgrade grills; Walter Sarajevski cevap has been the Belgrade benchmark for decades.
