1/4 cup Rice
1 Small Onions (chopped)

2 tspn Olive oil

Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

For the Avgolemono = 2 eggs + ¼ cup lemon juice.

In a large bowl mix the meat, rice, onion, parsley, dill, oil and salt and pepper to taste. Mix very well and shape into 1" balls.
In a large pot add the stock or water along with the butter and bring to a boil. Add the meat/rice balls and cook at a simmer for about 30 minutes. If the soup is too liquid, take the flour and 1 teaspoon butter and mash together, add to the soup and simmer 1 to 2 minutes, this will thicken the soup.
In a medium bowl beat the eggs and add the lemon juice, and slowly trickle 2 ladle full of broth to temper the eggs (beating constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.) Add to the soup.
