Gather @ground pork{200%g} and @feta cheese{150%g}.

Combine the @ground beef{600%g} and pork with the minced @onion{1} and @chili flake{1%tsp} in a bowl; season generously with salt and mix by hand just until it comes together — overworking makes it tough.

Divide into 4 portions and shape each roughly into a ball.

Slap each ball flat between wet palms, turning and re-wetting your hands, until it's thin and stretches to the edge of the plate — this is the pljeskavica's whole identity.

Heat a grill or heavy skillet until very hot before the patties go on.

Grill 4–5 minutes a side over strong heat, until deeply charred outside and cooked through. ~{9%minutes}

While the patties cook, mash the feta with the @sweet paprika{1%tsp} and remaining chili flake into a rough, fiery urnebes spread.

Split the @flatbread{4}, load in a patty, spoon over the urnebes, scatter with raw onion and serve immediately.
