Ingredients
1 pound ground beef chuck1/2 pound ground pork1/2 pound ground lamb1 clove garlic, finely chopped1/2 cup finely chopped onions1 teaspoon saltFinely chopped onions, for garnish
Directions
Mix together beef, pork, lamb, garlic, 1/2 cup chopped onions and salt until thoroughly combined.

Roll meat mixture into a long, 3/4-inch cylinder. Cut links at 4-inch intervals. Or, you can use a sausage extruder. Place on plastic wrap-lined plate, cover with more plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to firm. Note: Sausages can be frozen at this point. When ready to use, thaw or cook from the frozen state.

Broil "cevapcici" on a charcoal grill or a preheated oven broiler rack coated with cooking spray 4 to 6 inches from flame, 4 minutes per side or until no longer pink in the middle. Or they can be pan fried in a large skillet coated with cooking spray over high heat for a total of about 8 minutes, turning frequently to brown all sides.

Serve with chopped raw onion, Serbian potato salad and pogacha bread. Cevapcici make great appetizers!
