1 tablespoon tahini diluted in water

HOW TO?

1️⃣Mix all the meatballs’ ingredients and make medium size balls. Leave them to one side and roll to some plain flour.

2️⃣We sauté the chopped leek, potato, garlic in olive oil. We then add the stock and cook for 15 minutes at medium heat. Mash with a hand blender.

3️⃣Add the meatballs and cook in covered pot for 15-20 minutes at low heat.

4️⃣Separate the egg whites and whisk to a light meringue for 3 minutes. Add the egg yolks and the lemon. Slowly start adding hot food stock to the egg mix, so it increases the temperature and the eggs don’t cook. 1 spoon, 2nd spoon, 3rd spoon. Add to the pot, shake the pot. Add the tahini in water and serve immediately with some feta and dill.
