Small skinless grilled sausages of minced beef, lamb, and pork, served on a soft lepinja flatbread with raw onion, ajvar (red pepper relish), and kajmak (clotted dairy).
Cevapcici arrived in Slovenia via Yugoslav-era Bosnian and Serbian migration; the dish became ubiquitous in Ljubljana from the 1960s. Cevapdzinica Sarajevo 84 has cooked the Bosnian-style version with the somun (puffed flatbread) since 1984. Klobasarna serves a Slovenian-Carniolan adaptation with house-blend ground meat.
