Giouvarlakia

P1090493

Giouvarlakia, is a soup that is being made mostly during winter time in Greek households. Me however, since we live in Germany and one day is 40 Celsius the next can be 20 Celsius, today is one of those days with 14 Celsius  and Iam excited because it simply tastes good and makes your tummy warm. I actually cannot wait for fall to come. Its been the hottest Summer in Germany this year. This dish is my Dads favorite and he eats like three bowls, so this soup feeds 8 adults of one plate and 5 adults if one has three :D.

 

Ingredients:

  • 500gr ground beef
  • 2 small onions
  • 1 egg
  • juice of one lemon
  • 200 gr rice ( half cup for the meat )
  • flour
  • 3 liters water
  • 4 tbs olive oil

P1090471

add remaining rice

 

P1090483

make the avgolemono- a Greek soup of lemon juice and beaten eggs blended into a meat stock, containing rice, noodles, etc. My PC wont upload the pics for some reason, you beat one egg with half lemon and add it slowly to the soup. not too fast because your egg can start cooking- add some soup to the avgolemono first to get the egg familiar with the soup temp

adding lemon and black pepper to your dish is a classic.
