Cevapcici Aka Chevops (Yugoslavian Sausages)

Description: OH my, this brings back yummy memories. I dated a Cerb, way back when, and we ate these allot at festivals. I never got a recipe but found this one and put it in my "gotta try" file. I have used other recipes for the Frugal Gourmet and they were very good. I have yet to try these but in any case, let me know what you think. Never having made these, I will have at guess at the amount and timing. Source of Recipe : The Frugal Gourmet On Our Immigrant Ancestors
