Balkan Ćevapčići Sausages
  1. 1

    Assemble all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Heat an outdoor grill to medium and lightly oil the grate.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, ground lamb, and the egg white.

  4. 4

    Add the garlic, black pepper, salt, baking soda, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly with your hands; shape into finger-length sausages about 3/4 inch thick.

  5. 5

    Grill the sausages on the preheated grill, turning now and then, until they are no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should show 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
