(Meatballs with Lemon Sauce)

Ingredients:

Meatballs
1 lb. ground beef
1/3 cup long grain rice
1 egg
1 clove garlic, minced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. dried mint
Salt and pepper to taste

Broth
2-3 cups chicken broth
1/4 lb. butter

Lemon Sauce
2 eggs
2-3 lemons

Garnish
2 tbs. parsley, finely chopped

Instructions:

Mix all the meatball ingredients together. Mold into round 1 inch/2.5cm balls. Put the chicken broth in a pot, melt butter in broth, place the balls in carefully. Simmer for about 20 minutes, let cool.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk and slowly, while beating, add the lemon juice ensuring the sauce doesn't curdle. With a ladle, take one cup of the warm broth from the meatball pot, slowly add to the lemon sauce to temper the eggs, all the time mixing.
