Giouvarlakia Avgolemono (Rice Meatballs in Egg-Lemon Sauce) Recipe
Posted by
Directions:
- Put bread and ground beef in a bowl, and mix and knead thoroughly.
- Add rice, parsley, celery, mint, oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
- In a soup kettle, bring about 2 qt water to a furious boil.
- Keeping the water boiling, shape the meat into little round balls (about the size of walnuts) and gently drop them into the boiling water.
- Continue boiling for about 1/2 hour, and then set aside.
- Beat the whites of 3 eggs until frothy, but not stiff and shiny.
- Constantly beating, add the yolks until well mixed.
- Still beating add the lemon juice drop by drop.
- Bring butter and broth to a boil.
- Add this to the egg-lemon mixture, beating continuously.
- Place over VERY low heat, stirring in a S or X pattern (stirring round& round will cause sauce to curdle) until froth is almost broken down and sauce thickens.
- Serve hot.
