When Balkan ćevapi meets ground beef—certified organic, so it’s better for you and the environment—, it’s a match made in heaven. The small hand-shaped patties do great on the grill, along with summery yellow zucchini destined for a feta salad. What’s truly divine: the combo of ajvar and hummus, served with warm pita.
