| 1. Wash lamb pieces well and throw them in a tall pot covering them with cold water. | 2. Bring to the boil, skimming the pot frequently and then turn the heat down and simmer for 2 hours. | 3. Add the spring onion which has been washed and chopped coarsely (around 2cm pieces.) Add salt and pepper to taste. | 4. Simmer for another 20 minutes, then add the rice which has been rinsed and boil for another 15 minutes until the rice is cooked. | 5. Allow the soup to cool slightly and make an avgolemono or egg-lemon sauce. | 6. Separate the eggs and beat the whites for 5 minutes on low speed with a hand-held mixer until white. (It must not be firm or meringue-like.). | 7. Add yolks and beat briefly, then add the lemon juice in a thin stream until the mixture is fluffy. | 8. Then add hot soup in a thin trickle beating all the while at a low speed until most of the broth has been incorporated. You will need a large bowl to do this and you should tilt it at the beginning when you beat the egg whites so they are covered by the beaters. | 9. Be careful not to go too quickly or the egg will cook and curdle, it must be warmed up gradually. | 10. Tip the contents of the bowl back into the pot and mix lightly with a ladle. | 11. NOTE: The lamb here in Greece is very fatty so I don't add any oil at all to the soup but if you use leaner types of lamb (e.g. Australian or New Zealand) you may like to add 1/3 cup of oil to the soup. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
