Dry ćevapi are usually the result of a few common mistakes. The good news is that once you fix these, the difference is immediate.
Main causes
• Meat that is too lean and lacks fat
• Cooking for too long
• Heat that is too low
• Excessive handling during grilling
How to fix?
Choose meat with some fat content so it stays juicy during cooking. Use strong heat to seal the outside quickly. Avoid pressing or turning too often. Let the meat rest after cooking so juices settle inside.
Result
Correct preparation leads to soft, juicy ćevapi with a natural, rich flavor.
