Directions
Giouvarlakia Avgolemono (Rice Meatballs in Egg-Lemon Sauce), Greek lamb and rice meatballs in a creamy lemon sauce Warning for leftovers: Sauce will not keep more than a day or two The meatballs are still good on their own so I store seperately , Came out perfectomundo! As a child, I loved my mother’s giourvalakia This recipe tasted just like hers I followed the recipe exactly and it came out great!, Very good, and quite authentic The dried mint is a MUST for yiouvarlakia (sic) I did add lots of veg to my stock as this is a recipe where I can successfully add lots of little ‘extras’ for my kids – a couple of zucchini and carrots, a potato, some celery – all minced Makes for a really delicious stock The egg-lemon sauce was perfect, but I would have liked to see a liquid measure for the amount of lemon juice required – lemons vary so much in size, and some are juicy while others are not I ended up using 1/3 of a cup of lemon juice for this particular recipe to give it the amount of lemony-flavour we like
