Ražanj, the word for the skewer itself, also names the giant rotating spit used to slow-roast a whole pig or lamb at Serbian festivals.

Ražnjići are chunks of pork or veal threaded onto skewers and grilled fast over live coals, served alongside pljeskavica and ćevapi at roštilj kiosks and grill stands across Serbia.

Why it's made this way: Skewering meat lets a roadside grill cook thick cuts quickly and evenly over open coals, which is exactly the speed a busy lunchtime roštilj stand needs.
