How to Boil Gluten-Free Meatballs in Lemon Sauce

How many times in your life have you boiled meatballs? If the answer is zero, you’re in for a taste treat. As these gluten-free meatballs cook, their flavor converts the water in the pan into a wonderful broth.


Tools: Dutch oven, electric mixer


Preparation time: 15 minutes


Cooking time: 35 minutes


Yield: 4 servings


1 pound lean ground beef


1 small onion, minced


1/4 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon pepper


2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


1/2 teaspoon dried mint


1/4 cup uncooked rice


3 tablespoons cornstarch


1 tablespoon olive oil


2 eggs


Juice of 1 lemon


Salt to taste



  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, salt, pepper, parsley, mint, and rice.



  2. Shape the mixture into balls a little smaller in size than a ping-pong ball. You’ll have about 24 meatballs.



  3. Dust the meatballs lightly in cornstarch.



  4. Place the meatballs in a Dutch oven and add enough water to cover them. Add the oil. Bring the water to a boil, and then lower the heat to medium-low and let the meatballs simmer for 30 minutes.



  5. In a medium mixing bowl, use the mixer to whip the eggs for 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice.



  6. Remove the pan with the meatballs from the stove.



  7. Add 2/3 of the meatball broth, in a slow steady stream, to the eggs, whipping constantly. Taste the sauce; add salt to taste.



  8. Pour the lemon sauce over the meatballs and the remaining sauce in the Dutch oven and cook for 2 minutes over very low heat. (Don’t permit the mixture to boil or the eggs will curdle.) Serve immediately.
