Sundays are known for their impressive and most of the times complicated lunches, mainly I guess because we have more disposable time to spend in the kitchen... Though today was a quite busy Sunday I should say, but in order not to miss out in impressiveness we cooked this:
What you're going to need is:
1kg veal cut in pieces (you can buy a piece from the neck or better the shoulder)
10 small zucchini
2 green onions
1 handful of dill
Juice of 2 lemons
1 egg
Salt-Pepper
Boil the meat until it gets soft (depending on the size of the pieces, you will need approximately 40-60 minutes. It doesn't have to melt, just try it with a fork and see if it has gotten soft)
In a pot add some olive oil and fry the zucchini (if some zucchini are big, you can cut them in the middle). Fry them until they take a nice colour all around. Add the chopped onions, the meat and the dill and season with salt and pepper. Cover the food with hot water and let it boil until there is only very little water (juice) left.
When it's done, remove from fire and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
Now, in a bowl bit the egg and add the lemon juice. Add 2 tablespoons of the juice of the meat (from the pot) and bit all three hard and quickly. Then pour the mixture into the pot with the meat and the zucchini. Your food has to be quite cool (or not very hot) before you pour the avgolemono,because otherwise your egg will become like omelette!
*Feta cheese is a must with this dish!
PS: Avgolemono is a very basic sauce in greek cuisine, so do your practice cause you're gonna need it for other recipes as well! It smells grandma actually! :)
Enjoy!!!
