Dear Cate, I'm Clio and I'm from Greece.I really like your blog, very good work.I found the Greece section -LRB-!!!!) and I wanted to give you some info about the avgolemono soup recipe.Here, in Greece, we don't cook this soup plain with just rice, well, I certainly haven't heard it before.We have chicken avgolemono soup which is very popular, and there is a hole range of avgolemono recipes, soups and
casserole dishes.Avgolemono is a sauce, which is done at the end and finishes the recipe with
eggs (avgo in greek) and lemons.For example, we have «lamp with lettuce avgolemono, meatballs avgolemono soup, zuccnini stuffed with mince avgolemono, an easter soup with liver chopped and fresh onions, very traditional, we also have dolmades, this is turkish dish, it is like little parcels made by cabbage leaves that you
steam a little and then are filled with mince, rice and herbs, and avgolemono.And many others.
Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the
egg wash and press against the side of the
casserole dish, then cut slits in the pastry to allow
steam to escape.
