Method

  1. 1

    Finely grate the onion. Mix the pork mince, rice, grated onion and most of the chopped dill in a bowl. Season well and shape into 20 small meatballs.

  2. 2

    Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a large saucepan, then carefully lower in the meatballs.

  3. 3

    Cover and simmer gently for 28 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through with no pink remaining.

  4. 4

    Whisk the eggs with the juice of the lemons and the cornflour in a jug.

  5. 5

    Take the pan off the heat. Ladle a little hot stock into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, then pour it back into the pan, stirring gently.

  6. 6

    Return to a very low heat for 2 minutes to thicken slightly, without boiling.

  7. 7

    Scatter with the remaining dill and serve at once.
