Greek Stuffed Zucchini (Kolokithakia Yemista Avgolemono) image

Steps:

  • Cut zucchini into 1/2s or 1/3s, cored on one end (the other end is left intact) and remove filing carefully with corer so that a not-too-thick wall of zucchini remains to contain the filling, keep 1/2 the zucchini flesh removed from the coring, minced (not the shells- but the actual part of the zucchini that was removed, the other half makes a lovely omelette with a bit of parmesan for another meal!).
  • You can prepare your zucchini from the previous day and keep, wrapped, in the refrigerator- this actually makes a lot less work on the day of preparation as it's the coring of the zucchini that takes up the most time.
  • Mix the meats, onion, garlic, rice, parsley and zucchini in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff this mixture into the opening of the one end of each zucchini piece and make sure the filling goes all the way into the vegetable.
  • Level opening neatly so that no filling comes out.
  • Layer the filled zucchini pieces in a big pot and add enough boiling water to just cover.
  • Put in the stock cubes and the butter and cover.
  • Simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour (knife tip should slip into a piece easily), and take off heat.
  • Carefully remove the zucchini pieces with a slotted spoon and place on a reheatable serving dish.
  • Strain the cooking liquid left in the pot to remove any pieces of zucchini or grains of rice that may be floating around.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the cornstarch and lemon juice (add the juice of 1 lemon at this point).
  • Slowly ladle in (literally the thinnest of streams) your hot cooking liquid, whisking the eggs all the while so they don't curdle.
  • Keep doing this till nearly all the cooking liquid has been used and then pour your egg mixture and any cooking liquid left back into the pot and heat on a low flame until the sauce has thickened.
  • Taste, if it needs more lemon, add up to 1/2 more.
  • This is what is called an'Avgolemono Sauce' (Egg-lemon Sauce)- it is delicious.
  • When ready to serve, put 2-3 piping hot pieces of the stuffed zucchini on each plate and nap with the sauce.
  • Serve with feta cheese on the side (you won't believe how good a nibble of feta tastes with each bite of this!), good, crusty bread (you want to get all the sauce), and wine.

6 large zucchini (this depends on size, when you cut the zucchini, you should estimate that 2-3 of these pieces will)
1 large onion, minced (equaling 1 cup)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh spearmint (or 1 tsp dried, crumbled)
1/2 cup minced parsley
1/2 cup par-boiled rice
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground beef, you could use all ground beef and not use pork
4 ounces butter
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 eggs
1 lemon, juice of, to 1 1/2
3 tablespoons cornstarch

GREEK MEATBALLS IN AVGOLEMONO SAUCE (KEFTEDES ME AVGOLEMONO)

Looks yummy!! This recipe is especially popular in the Agrinion area (NW Greece). It uses a version of Avgolemono soup as a sauce for the meatballs or keftedes. I am leaving the metric measures so the recipe is exactly as I found it. The site does not state how many it serves or what the time is for prep, so I am guessing here. I am also assuming that minced beef is the same as ground beef in the U.S. From realgreekrecipes.blogspot.com. Posted for ZWT6.
