Avgolemeno
- 1/2 c Uncooked rice or orzo
- 7 c Stock (up to 8)
- 1 Lemon, juice of
- 2 tb Water
- 2 Eggs (up to 3)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare a stock by boiling slowly lean lamb, meat bones, or chicken with
enough water to cover. Strain stock when meat is done. 1/2 hour before
serving, boil stock and add rice or orzo. When orzo is done, reduce heat
to simmer. In a bowl, beat eggs with 2 Tbsp. water and the lemon juice.
Spoon broth into egg mixture STIRRING CONSTANTLY to prevent curdling. After
adding about 5 Tbsp. broth to eggs, add eggs to the broth on the stove
STIRRING CONSTANTLY. Remove from heat. It should be slightly thick. Serve
immediately. I like this pretty "lemony", so I sometimes add more lemon.
