Meatballs:

Ingredients

500 grams minced beef,
1 cup of uncooked rice,
1/4 cup of finelly chopped parsley,
1 big finelly chopped onion,
1 egg,
1 cup of grated cheese,
2 tbsps olive oil,
2 big yellow lemons,
2 carrots in cubes,
2 potatoes cut in cubes,
2 zucchini cut in cubes,
Salt and pepper for taste

Preparation:

To prepare these Greek meatballs, we start by making the meatballs (yiouvarlakia). We place all the minced meat, the rice, the eggs, the parsley, the onion, the grated cheese, the olive oil, the salt and the pepper in a basin and we knead the mixture well to make it smooth. We leave the mixture to rest in the fridge for 15 minutes. We form the meatballs and set them aside.

Then, in a cooking pot, we add 3 cups of water and let it boil. When water has boiled we lower the heat and we put the meatballs inside one by one, adding the cubed carrots, the cubed potatoes and the cubed zucchini, avoiding to stir. We cook for about 20-30 minute. (the water must cover the meatballs so they are cooked properly). When almost done, we add the squeezed lemon juice, turn off the heat and let it simmer.

Itadakimasu!
