Cevapcici

Making sausages at home is often hindered by the lack of a machine or the lack of skins – or both. However you can knock this variety up as easily as you would a few patties. Be sure to keep the mince chilled for best results.

• 3 tsp dried thyme, ground

Chilling time 30 minutes

Instructions

Place all the ingredients in a large bowl with 1 tbsp salt and ½ tsp pepper and mix together with your hands until mixture becomes sticky. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat a barbecue or chargrill pan to hot. Using your hands, shape the mince mixture into 10 cm-long sausages, about 3cm-wide. Working in batches if necessary, chargrill or barbecue the sausages, turning occasionally, for 6 minutes or until cooked through.

Serve with flatbreads, diced tomato salad, some natural yoghurt and a little bit of freshly torn mint, if desired.
