  • 2 slices day-old bread
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup finely-minced parsley
  • 1 teaspoon finely-minced mint or ¼ teaspoon dried mint
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup long-grained rice
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

  • How To Cook:
    1. Put bread, ½ cup chicken broth, onion, garlic, parsley, mint, salt, pepper, oregano, and cumin in a covered dish and cook in the microwave oven 5 minutes, stirring once.

    2. Add to ground beef, mix lightly; add egg and mix well. Form into small meat balls. Put into a large covered casserole and cook, covered, 5 minutes, stirring gently.

    3. Add the rice, butter, and 2 cups chicken broth. Re-cover. Cook until the rice is tender (about 14 to 15 minutes), stirring very gently twice during the cooking time.

    4. Heat the remaining broth in a cup. Beat egg yolks until light and fluffy in a small bowl. Gradually beat in the lemon juice and then the hot broth.

    5. Gently stir into the rice and meat ball mixture. Let stand 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with additional chopped parsley.
