Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, finely grated onion, uncooked Arborio rice, chopped parsley, dill, egg, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
- In a large pot, pour in the chicken broth and olive oil. Heat over medium until simmering. Carefully add the meatballs in a single layer and simmer for about 30 minutes.
- While meatballs simmer, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice in a bowl. Temper the eggs by gradually adding hot broth while whisking.
- Return the tempered egg mixture to the pot with meatballs and stir gently, continuing to simmer on low heat.
- Once the sauce has thickened slightly, remove from heat and serve warm, garnished with additional chopped dill or lemon wedges.

Notes
