What I really like about this recipe is that it sounds all wong, from boiling the meatballs to the lemon and egg sauce that tops them-but TRUST me, they are tremendous!!! Ingredients:
1 lb of ground beef |
1/2 lb butter or margarine |
1/4 lb rice |
1 egg 1 onion, finely chopped |
parsley |
salt and pepper |
for the sauce |
2 eggs |
2 lemons |
Directions:
1. Mix all the ingedients together, and form into round 1 inch balls. Put some water, about 1 1/2 cups in a pot.
2. Place the butter and balls in the water when it is just starting to get hot -CAREFULLY! Bring to slow boil.
3. Let them simmer for about 20 minutes and then let cool. Do not drain the liquid.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a mixer and slowly, while beating, add the lemon juice ensuring that the sauce doesn't curdle. With a ladle, take some of the juice from the meatball pot, add to the sauce, all the time mixing.
5. Keep doing this until all the juice has been mixed in the sauce. Empty all the sauce on top of the meatballs and serve with some sprinkled parsley.
