For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a finely grated onion to the meat mixture.
If you don't have a grill, these sausages can also be cooked in a skillet over medium heat or broiled in the oven.
Ćevapčići are traditionally served with ajvar (a roasted red pepper relish), kajmak (a clotted cream), chopped onions, and warm flatbread.
The baking soda helps to tenderize the meat and give the sausages a slightly springy texture.
