A very good tip on how to handle lemons; as soon as you bring them home from the store put them immediately into the freezer. When you’re ready to use them take one lemon put it in the microwave for one minute. I always zest it at that point and you get wonderful bits a lemon to either use in your dis or cover it and put it into the fridge. Then its very easy to juice and you get a lot if juice from the lemon. Or you can simply slice it if you want to put in on a plate next to a piece of fish. The fresh lemons keep a good long time frozen. You wont be throwing lemons out for going bad.
For my Greek soupa I use fresh chicken broth fresh chicken 12 lemons 12 eggs black pepper and sprouted rice with chicken base.. meatballs fresh ground lamb and cinnamon too 😍😍😍I also have to temper my eggs first before it goes in.. no cvornstarch .. when I used my eggs from my chicken it was the richest creamiest soup I ever made
My favorite is the Greek Lemon Orzo Chicken Soup so I was thrilled to see another version Lemon is such a wonderful flavor on fish, vegetables, salads, desserts. Thank you.🎉
Thanks for posting. I could never really find a good recipe for this. Asking my aunt who makes this so well would never give me exact measurements. Every time I make it there wouldn't be enough broth and it would nevr thicken, always tastes like lemon water. Can't wait to try. ThAnks.
Hello Dimitra. I made the pita bread yesterday and it came out ok. Only one came out pocket pita and the rest just plain flat bread, but tasty. I will try again until I succeed. My chicken, potatoes in lemon juice was very good. Also my chopped meat and potatoes was delicious. I will be making afgolemon suppa someday, I'll let you know how it came out. I love soups so I was wondering if you could show me how to make "patcha" soup/ tripe soup. I used to go to Astoria, Queens, NY during the late 70's and enjoyed a large bowl of hot Patcha soup. It has been 40 years since I enjoyed this delicious soup. There in no place that sells it anymore since the only store closed down. Thank you.
This is interesting Demitra. We used to mix the yokes in with the meat. Then I would wisp up the egg whites and then slowly mix in the lemon in the frothy egg whites. After the meat balls are done, we put them with their meat broth in the bowl and then pour the lemon sauce over each bowl of meat balls. Thank you for your great presentation! Where is your restautant business? Thanks
god bless dimitra i wish my mom was here i think she s the best cook in the world but now you are my favorite! apo pou isai? years ago they had some good greek restaurants in philly but they all closed dont know why! greek town astoria is the place but to far! na ise kalla!!
do you have any Christmas recipes? i will love to cook something greek this Christmas because my husband is greek and even though we live in Greece last Christmas our dinner was a mixture between Dominican and greek food. it was pretty good !!
Dimitra let me give you an idea for this meatball lemon sauce recipe ...instead of cooking the rice while inside the meat...mix cooked rice with ingredients before cooking then turn the ball in flower and lightly fry them with little bit of oil to create a layer of crispiness then put them in an onion olive oil boiling water and lower the heat to minimum then şin the end add the lemony sauce ...it will be thicker and more presentable....we do this meal in my house .....my wife is Turkish Bulgarian and myself Tunisian...youvarlakia means something rounded in turkish but frankly greek are creative in food
Hello!i have another question here))can I use the meatloaf mix(pork,beef,veal) instead of just using beef?and is it okay to use a regular uncle bans rice instead of basmati?thanks a lot
vasileios novratidis Hi again! SO sorry I'm getting back to your question a bit late. This has been a very busy weekend at the café....Yes to both questions. You may use that meat combination and also the uncle ben's rice. It will turn out delicious! Thanks so much for watching :)
Just dicovered your channel and this receipe! My mom used to make this soup but she always beat up the eggwhite added some Lemon juice and put it in Top of the soup.have you ever heard about this Version?
Dimitria. I suggest you should be tie up your hair, and the sleeves of your dress almost fell into the soup, wuo... 😝Not clean.. You can find your hair into the soup. Sorry.. God bless you. Kalimera.
I just love your channel and your great Greek recipes! Thank you so much! 😊👍🤗

I made these tonight, Wow !! i had leftover turkey broth frozen . it turned out 10 on 10
I’m in Australia and my mother used to call this dish porcupines. That’s what the mince and rice balls looked like, it was one of my favourite meals.
Great description. The meatballs make me itchy looking at them, but I'm sure this soup is absolutely delicious.
My favorite comfort food too. From childhood

If I ever opened a Greek restaurant I would call it "Lemon, Lemon and Lemon", love avgolemono sauce.
lol! You're on point :)
You cook exactly the way my mom cooked, her island was Samos. All her recipes of course was written in Greek. Bravo❤️
My parents were raised in Corfu and they add rice in the broth as well. Makes it very hearty.
Am I the only one watching this who’s mouth is watering. I can’t wait to try this 🍋🍵
Oh my goodness that looks awesome can't wait to make it!!! Mike
Nice job. Add a teaspoon of cornflour inside avgolemono mixture will become more creamy!

Anna Marsillo You're welcome!! I love lots of broth in my soup too :) And I never leave any secret ingredients out of my recipes. XOXO
Omg so beautiful and a great cook thank you for the recipe 🇬🇷😎

Good cook everything you make!!!
If you are canning, especially tomatoes, you have to use bottled lemon juice since it has consistent ph.
Lovely recipe ❤😊
Making these tomorrow and using your recipe!
I think I'll give this a try at the restaurant next week when I'll make the chicken lemon augo soup.
I love your recipe, best ever Thank you.

Looks very good!! I think u may have added a little too much rice to the meat balls. We have a similar soup in our Romanian cuisine.
That looks delicious
It closely resembles Italian wedding 🍜 soup
I've never had that. will give it a try :)
I still have not yet made these. They have been on my wait list since this video was released.
They're so good!! Have you made the cabbage rolls in the lemon sauce? Those are my fave!! Enjoy and best wishes to you and your daughter :)
Dimitra's Dishes on my list as well.
Looks so 😋
M missng cyprus a lot..

Delicious
Greek Albóndigas!
I did all of this and my sauce is still watery, why cant i get mine to be creamy?
***** here it is!!!
Why do you prefer Basmati rice when cooking?
It's lighter :)
Excellent 💖💖🌹🌹I love Greek food very much.
Speak in GREEK. Vous avez oublié votre langue ?
Por favor los ingredientes en español por favor
Love to make and directs to blog, tho unavailable to find. Would be so kind to post? Ty!!! Made the 1 pot kapama again. 👌👌👌

Do you use the whole eggs or just the yolks?
Just the yolks :)
What can becused instead of cornstarch?
arrowroot powder
If you brown the meatballs in a pan first they do no spike up like hedgehogs ;)
Can you make it all at once instead of cooking the meatballs first?
No.
Fahey Mill
DON'T STOP THIS MUSIC .WHO IS PLAYING BY THE WAY?
Can I have the name of your singer?
Dimitra can you please make fish soup xxx ooo
Yes!! I;ll make it in the fall :)
Lmao.. Fresh lemon juice..not that bottle little squeeze stuff ..o ly good for cleaning and not even that...#sotrue
You crack me up!
😁👍💗
Dimitria.
I suggest you should be tie up your hair, and the sleeves of your dress almost fell into the soup, wuo... 😝Not clean..
You can find your hair into the soup.
Sorry..
God bless you.
Kalimera.
You read my mind!
You put a little too much rice in the meat balls.
Love this dish, but way too much salt. People with high blood pressure and/or low kidney function, can't cook with so much salt.
feel free to add as much or as little salt as you like :)
Basmati rice? Well if you are of East Indian decent .. I guess it's ok
Am sorry, I know it’s your preference but this soup is never made with basmati rice. Καθόλου, λάθος κανίς.
Perhaps you need some more salt? Lol.
Yuvarlakia re malaka yuvarlak re ndax
should you rinse the rice before adding to beef
