Time 37m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs ground lamb
1/4 cup rice
1 small onion, chopped
3 teaspoons parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons dill, chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil
5 cups stock or 5 cups water
1/4-1/2 cup butter, room temperature
salt and pepper
2 eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large bowl mix the meat, rice, onion, parsley, dill, oil and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix very well and shape into 1" balls.
  • In a large pot add the stock or water along with the butter and bring to a boil.
  • Add the meat/rice balls and cook at a simmer for about 30 minutes.
  • If the soup is too liquid, take the flour and 1 teaspoon butter and mash together, add to the soup and simmer 1-2 minutes , this will thicken the soup.
  • In a medium bowl beat the eggs and add the lemon juice, and slowly trickle 2 ladle full of broth to temper the eggs (beating constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.) Add to the soup.

Overall, this was a good recipe. I would make it again, but I would make a few adjustments to suit my own taste.

The sauce was a bit too lemony for my taste. I would use less lemon juice next time.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid to the meatball mixture next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed these meatballs. The spices and herbs really balanced out the flavor of the lamb. The avgolemono sauce was also a nice touch.

This recipe was a bit more time-consuming than I expected, but it was worth it! The meatballs were perfectly seasoned and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

Absolutely delicious! The meatballs were so flavorful and tender, and the avgolemono sauce was the perfect complement. I served it with some roasted potatoes and a simple salad, and it was a hit with the whole family.
