How to make smooth and rich avgolemono sauce (Greek egg lemon sauce)

[efhernandez_]

Avgolemono is a classic sauce that can be added to pretty much everything but taste the best on dolmadakia! The recipe is pretty simple, but takes a bit of practice to get the consistency right. All you need for ingredients is eggs, lemon, and chicken stock. It's kind of similar to a hollandaise sauce, but a bit more tangy. Here's how I make it.

1. Whisk 2 room temperature eggs in a bowl
2. Slowly pour in the juice of 2 lemons
3. Add warm chicken soup stock until you reach the desired consistnency (I like mine pretty thick)

I love avgolemono sauce! I try to save some of the juices from when I make dolmadakia to mix with some chicken stock to boost the flavor, but sometimes the dolmadakia absorb it all.
