Finely dice three of the four onions. Roughly chop the fourth onion and serve it with the finished cevapcici. Place the minced meat and all the other ingredients, except the water, in a food processor (dough hook). Gradually add the water while stirring. Stir the mixture for about 20 minutes until it forms a firm and sticky mass. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe sausages onto a cutting board. Cut the sausages to the desired length and cover with foil. Refrigerate overnight. Fry on all sides in a pan with oil or grill on a grill. Serve with lepinje (flatbread), ajvar, kajmak, and roughly chopped onions. Of course, the cevapcici can also be fried straight away, but the flavors will intensify if they are allowed to marinate overnight.
