Steps:
- 1. Soak separated leaves in cold water for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile in a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients except juice from lemon and chicken broth. Using clean hand, mix until very well-blended; set aside. Drain leaves in a colander.
- 2. Place the rougher side up and stuffing one leaf at a time, scoop about ½ tbsp. lamb mixture, rolling in the palm of the hand. Place it right at the base of the leaf. If there's a stem, tear it off and discard it. Take one side and fold over the mixture and then fold the other loose end over top; repeat on the other side. Roll up firmly (not too tight or not too loose), folding in if necessary, to the end forming a cylinder shape. Repeat until lamb mixture is gone.
- 3. Cover the bottom of a tall pot with broken leaves. Place dolmades starting from the outside and working our way in (don't squeeze, just snuggle). Stack another layer if needed. Drizzle the dolmades with olive (about 1 ½ tbsp.) and with lemon juice. Place a lid and pour hot chicken broth. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring it until it just starts to simmer and bubbles appear on the outside edge. Turn heat down to medium-low, cover and cook for 1 hour.
- 4. After cooking time is over, remove carefully the lid inside the pot and check if dolmades are cooked when a fork inserted slice in easily. If not, cook for another 10 minutes with the lid of the pot on.
- 5. Use 1 cup of chicken broth from the pot and pour in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat to keep it warm. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs. Place a damp towel underneath to keep bowl in place. Pour slowly lemon juice whisking constantly and continue whisking until airy and frothy. Very slowly, add hot broth a little at a time, whisking constantly and vigorously. When broth is almost all use, pour the egg mixture to the saucepan and cook for 5 minutes, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- 6. Spoon Avgolemono sauce over dolmades and sprinkle parsley over top. Serve immediately. Make 50 dolmades.

EASY AVGOLEMONO SAUCE
I'm Hispanic, my husband is a first generation Greek-American. Suffice to say that he's a Greek Food Purist...!!! He never thought I'd be able to produce anything that would be considered authentic. This easy version of Avgolemono Sauce, I'm happy to say, passes muster. This can be served on so many things, but our favorite is over Dolmades and over stuffed peppers. Nothing scary here, it's easy so long as you temper the eggs carefully and never let the sauce come to a boil.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, bring broth to a boil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the lemon juice and whisk until frothy.
- While continuing to whisk, pour half the boiling broth into the eggs in a small stream, whisking vigorously and continually so that the eggs don't cook.
- Return the broth to the flame and pour the tempered eggs into the remaining broth, whisking the whole time. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, but NEVER LET THE SAUCE BOIL. This will take about five minutes.
- Serve immediately. This sauce doesn't reheat well.
AVGOLEMONO
Growing up, Avgolemono was like our Greek penicillin. The minute anyone felt a little bit under the weather, a pot immediately went on the stove.

Steps:
- Place the chicken, bay leaf and broth in a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer 1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and let it cool.
- Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Clean out any scum in the bottom of the pot and add the broth back to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then add the orzo and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Check for seasoning here, as you may need to add a few teaspoons salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice and the flour. Whisk the eggs into the lemon mixture. Pour a little of the simmering broth slowly over the egg mixture and whisk it together. Reduce the heat under the broth to low and whisk in the egg mixture. The soup will thicken slightly and become cloudy. Make sure you don't bring the soup to a rolling boil after you add the eggs. Your eggs will scramble, which will leave you with more of an egg drop soup (which would still be fantastic, but just not the same).
- Chop up the chicken, removing the skin and bones, and add it to the soup along with the dill. Serve immediately.
AVGOLEMONO: CHICKEN SOUP WITH EGG-LEMON SAUCE
Steps:
- Place the chicken in a large pot and add enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low, skimming when necessary.
- Heat the oil in a separate pan over medium heat and add the onions. Cook the onions until clear, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- When the chicken is cooked through, 45 minutes to 1 hour, remove from the broth. Let the chicken cool, and then pull the meat from the bones. Dice into large cubes and set aside.
- Add the bay leaves, carrot, leek and reserved onions to the broth and simmer, about 1 hour.
- Remove the carrot and leek from the broth and add the rice. Bring to a boil, and then turn the heat to medium-high to simmer until the rice is cooked to al dente, about 30 minutes. Add the chicken back into the broth. Add more water if needed.
- In a small bowl, beat the lemon juice and eggs together. Pour 2 cups of broth slowly into the bowl, whisking continuously. Once all the broth is incorporated, add the mixture into the pot of chicken soup and stir to blend well throughout. Add the salt and pepper. Serve hot.
AVGOLEMONO SAUCE
Adopted! Goes with the already posted "Avgolemono Soup (Chicken Soup)" recipe. As Cookgirl says, an onion? I don't know what the intent of the original poster was, but I don't use any onion. Thanks, CG, for bringing it to my attention!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Set the leg of lamb into a roasting tin. Season with a little salt and plenty of black pepper.

Remove the lamb from the oven and leave to stand, covered in foil, for 15 mins.

Pour over the rest of the stock, then over a low heat stirring constantly, cook for 7-10 mins until the sauce has thickened. Do not boil.
