Steps

40 minutes

1

Gather all your ingredients, wash and chop the vegetables.
In a bowl, combine the ground beef and all other ingredients.
Knead well, and if the mixture is too stiff, add a little water and knead again until you have a soft, moldable mixture. Set aside.
2

In a large pot, add the olive oil and place over medium heat.
Add the vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage reduces in volume.
Then add the hot water and bouillon cube.
Stir, cover with a lid, and let it boil for 10 minutes.
3

Shape the meatballs and after 10 minutes, add them to the pot and cover with the lid.
Let them cook for 20-25 minutes.
If you want the dish to be more like a soup with more broth, add additional hot water.
I like it thicker to remind me of stuffed cabbage rolls 😁😋
4

While they cook, squeeze the lemons.
In a bowl or blender, add the yolks, cornstarch, lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and mix with a whisk or blender until the cornstarch dissolves.
5

Once the dish is ready, take 2-3 tablespoons of broth from the pot with a ladle, add it slowly to the bowl, and mix well.
Then turn off the stove, pour the mixture into the pot, and shake it gently to distribute evenly.
Leave it on the warm stove for a few seconds, then transfer to a cold burner, covered with the lid, for 5 minutes to thicken.
6

Serve hot and steamy, adding freshly ground pepper and lemon zest.
Good luck and enjoy with your loved ones!!!🤗🥰😋😁❤
