Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground beef
1/3 cup long grain rice, uncooked
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried mint
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 -3 cups chicken stock or 2 -3 cups broth
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
juice, of two strained or three large lemon, strained

Steps:

  • Combine the ground beef, rice, onion, garlic, parsley, mint, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add an egg and mix well.
  • Pour some flour in a shallow pan. With floured hands, shape the meat into walnut-sized balls. Lightly roll the meatballs in the flour and shake off the excess.
  • Heat 2 cups of the chicken broth in a Dutch oven, or large pot, until boiling.
  • Carefully place the meatballs in a layer on the bottom of the pot. If the broth does not cover the meatballs, add a bit more broth until they are covered.
  • Simmer, covered, on low for 45 minutes, adding more broth if there is less than 1 cup remaining.
  • To make the sauce, beat the eggs in a medium sized bowl until frothy.
  • Slowly whisk in the lemon juice. Ladle one cup of the pot liquid, little by little, into the egg mixture to temper the eggs.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and add in the lemon/egg mixture, stirring gently.
  • Heat over very low heat until sauce thickens and is heated through, making sure the sauce does not boil (which will result in the eggs curdling).

These meatballs were a bit too dense for my taste, but the sauce was fantastic. I would try making them again with a different meatball recipe.
