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 shopping list
- 1/2 lb butter or margarine shopping list
- 1/4 lb rice shopping list
- 1 egg 1 onion, finely chopped shopping list
- parsley shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
- For the sauce: shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 2 lemons shopping list
How to make it
- Mix all the ingedients together, and form into round 1 inch balls. Put some water, about 1 1/2 cups in a pot.
- Place the butter and balls in the water when it is just starting to get hot -CAREFULLY! Bring to slow boil.
- Let them simmer for about 20 minutes and then let cool. Do not drain the liquid.
- 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.
- 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.

Oh I trust you, no doubt. This brings me back to my yaya's table. And it will only take me a tenth of the effort I would go through to make dolmades. Thanks!

Hi Greekgirrrl, I made this for Easter dinner with my wife. I know Greek Easter is next week, but I got impatient. I actually made it with ground turkey and kasha instead of beef and rice. It was still very good.
