#littlecookingtips #comfortfood #greekfood #traditionalfood #comfortfood #food #foodvlog #videorecipe #giouvarlakia
A hearty and delicious winter soup, and a classic Greek comfort food.
It's really hard to describe the deliciousness of this soup.
The beef meatballs mixed with all these herbs, cooked in vegetable broth and then... the egg-lemon sauce... Oh my! It's a match made in heaven that you should definitely try out! :)
The ingredients:
For the youvarlakia
- 1kg / 2lb (35oz), beef mince (prefer a lean cut)
- 200g / 7oz (1 cup), parboiled short grain brown rice *
- 150g / 5.5oz (1-2 medium sized) onions, finely chopped **
- 1/2 bunch (1 cup) dill, finely chopped
- 3 egg whites***
- 4 cubes of vegetable bouillon
- 50g / 2oz (about 2) spring onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 125ml (1/2 cup) olive oil
- 140g (1 cup) plain flour, for coating the meatballs
- 2lt / 2qt (8 cups) of warm water
For the egg-lemon sauce
- 3 egg yolks**
- 1/2 cup (6tbsp) lemon juice (from about 3 medium-sized lemons)
- 2tbsp corn starch
*You can also use white rice if you can’t find the parboiled brown. Arborio and Carnaroli work great with this recipe.
**You can also grate the onions instead.
***Choose 3 medium size eggs and separate them to egg whites and egg yolks. You will use the whites in the meatballs and the yolks in the avgolemono sauce.

Wow, those meat balls turned out great! I think the use of both green onions and purple onion would have made these delicious. Thanks for sharing!
