Hellenic Cuisine- Spiralbound Cookbook #22

I just received this cookbook from a seller on eBay.  As you, no doubt, read from an earlier post, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Greek food.  This one comes from the St. Helen's Philoptochos Society and Sts. Constantine and Helen Parent-Teacher Association, Detroit, Michigan, 1957.

Here's the cookbook:

The recipe I've chosen is for YOUVARLAKIA...MEATBALLS WITH LEMON SAUCE:

Youvarlakia (Meatballs with Lemon Sauce)

2 lbs. ground beef or veal
2 small onions, chopped fine
3 T. chopped parsley and mint leaves
1/2 c. rice
2 T. butter or oil
1 tsp. vegetable salt
2 c. of water
1/2 c. flour
salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs and juice of 1 lemon for sauce

Knead the meat, onion, salt, pepper, rice and vegetable salt thoroughly.  Shape into round balls and sprinkle with a little flour.  Bring water to boil in a saucepan with a little salt; add meat balls and butter and simmer for about 40 minutes.

Separate eggs and beat whites until they form peaks; fold in yolks which have been beaten separately with the lemon juice.  Remove pan with meat balls from the fire, pour sauce on top, sprinkle with chopped parsley and mint.  Serve hot.

Enjoy!
