A dish from my childhood that they used to make for us at school. I would come home and tell my mom, “Mom, I had two bowls today!” Now, as a mom, I make it for my kids with love. It’s perfect for children, made with delicious, healthy, and wholesome ingredients!

Steps

  5. 5

    When the meatballs are cooked, turn off the heat. Squeeze the lemon and crack the egg into a bowl. Beat them together with a fork. Using a ladle, slowly add some of the hot broth to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper it. Add a little more broth until the mixture is warm, then pour the egg-lemon sauce into the pot. Gently shake the pot to mix. It’s ready!

  6. 6

    Enjoy! This dish is also delicious served with a slice of feta cheese.
