Dolmas with Avgolemono Sauce
Dolma means something stuffed or filled, in Turkey. The sauce originated from Sephardi Jewish Cuisine from Iberia. Egg and lemon sauce is used in a lot of Middle Eastern, Greek, and Balkans cuisine. There are more areas that have a version of this sauce.
I added honey and sugar so the granddaughters would eat them.
Sometimes these are stuffed with minced/ground meat, nuts, fruit, vegetables and so on.
Sometimes cornstarch is used to help thicken the sauce. We like this version so I stick with it.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Drain the leaves. Carefully remove the leaves from the jar. This tip helped me. Where the jar narrows at the top slip a butter knife between the side of jar and leaves. Now press the packed leaves in towards the center of the jar, carefully pull out half of the leaves. Rinse and pot into a pot and boil for 15 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- 2
Melt the butter and dice the onion. Add the rice and parboil the rice with the onion in the butter. Do this for 7 minutes.
- 3
Add in the ground chuck, spice and half the beef broth.
- 4
Cover and cook till browned. When the liquids are absorbed remove from heat and allow it to cool. When cool add the eggs and mix well.
- 5
Spread out the leaf with ribbed side down. Take a spoon add a little bit of filling mixture to the middle bottom of leaf. If leaf is too small use two leaves. Fold the sides inward towards the center like a burrito.
- 6
Tightly roll bottom to top. When these are cooked they will expand a bit as the rice cooks more and gets a bit bigger.
- 7
Take torn leaves and set on the bottom of pot so the bottom rolled dolmas won't burn. Layer the bottom then stack on top till all you can roll is rolled and in the pot. Cover with half quart beef broth, and and one and a half quarts of chicken broth. Simmer 45 minutes.
- 8
As that is being done. Beat the eggs with the salt and heat the broth. It's fixing to get tricky.
- 9
Add a ladle of hot broth, slowly into the egg mixture stirring constantly this will help temper the eggs. When eggs are tempered add to the rest of the chicken broth.

Serve the with the Avgolemono Sauce with the Dolmas. I hope you enjoy!!!

Voula's Vegetable Avgolemono Soup (Greek Veggie Egg-Lemon Soup) Voula's Vegetable Avgolemono Soup (Greek Veggie Egg-Lemon Soup)
Avgolemono is my favorite soup. Usually I have it with chicken and rice. I came up with this vegetarian variation using orzo over Lent because NY had a particularly brutal and never ending winter which overlapped with Eastern Orthodox Easter time (so I was fasting from meat). It transitions nicely into a spring time soup. Enjoy

Meatball Soup with an Egg-Lemon Sauce (Giouvarelakia me Augolemono) Meatball Soup with an Egg-Lemon Sauce (Giouvarelakia me Augolemono)
My mom asked me yesterday what I was thinking of posting for my next recipe this week, I had decided that I was going to make Giouvarelakia – Greek Meatball Soup. We had taken out all the ingredients, set them on the counter, but before I could start cooking I had a few things to do. When I finally went to the kitchen, to my surprise my mom went ahead and did everything from combining the ingredients to cooking the soup.. So, this means I have no other pictures than the featured image to show how this is prepared. I do apologise. 🙂This is a lovely, warm winter soup that combines beef, rice, dill and many more ingredients, that will satisfy that hungry feeling when your coming in from the cold. It has been rather cold here and what else better to eat than soups. 🙂 This one though is different because it also has that tasty addition of lemon juice which just gives each spoonful a WOW taste. (I was going to write a WOW factor but I think that would be a bit too much) hahahaI hope you enjoy this lovely soup recipe 😉

Quick & Easy Greek Themed Meatballs with lemon-dill sauce Quick & Easy Greek Themed Meatballs with lemon-dill sauce
With working, rearing a 6 month old, and squeezing in dinner before my husband goes to work in the evenings I find myself often short on time. So a lot of recipes I've been developing lately are focused on convenience and speed, while hopefully maintaining interesting and varied flavors. This particular dish came about from my craving for something with Greek flavors, but not having the time to do anything from scratch. Normally I would make meatballs from scratch with all the seasoning infused, but alas time crunch again. Lol. Although not authentic or fresh meatballs it did in a pinch and I hope you enjoy!

Greek Souvlaki ＆ Tzatziki Sauce Greek Souvlaki ＆ Tzatziki Sauce
This is my version of a recipe I saw on a cooking show in Canada. The word for "eatery" in Greek is "taverna." This sounds like "taberuna," in Japanese, which means "don't eat," so, it's an eating establishment where you can't eat? There are lots of "taverna" in Vancouver and they are very popular.Tzatziki is a versatile sauce that can be used for both meat and salad. Put chicken and salad topped with tzatziki in pita bread for a pita sandwich. I'm in love with this sauce. Recipe by LazyHata
