Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup arborio rice
  • 1 small onion, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F or prepare a skillet if you prefer to cook the meatballs on the stovetop.

2. Make the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, grated onion, arborio rice, parsley, dill, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients well until they’re thoroughly combined.

3. Form the Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the meatball mixture into small, uniform balls, about 1–1.5 inches in diameter.

4. Cook the Meatballs: If baking, place the meatballs on a lined baking sheet and cook for 20–25 minutes until they’re cooked through. For stovetop cooking, brown the meatballs in a skillet with a bit of olive oil over medium heat until they’re fully cooked.

5. Prepare the Lemon Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice. Set this aside.

6. Heat the Broth: In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Slowly whisk in the egg-lemon mixture, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.

7. Combine the Meatballs and Sauce: Add the cooked meatballs to the lemon sauce and let them simmer for 3–5 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to blend.

Notes

Serve your Greek Meatballs in Lemon Sauce hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley or dill if desired. This dish pairs beautifully with fluffy rice, crusty bread, or a fresh salad for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
