1. Make meatballs:  In medium bowl, combine beef, onion, rice, parsley,
salt and pepper with 1/4 cup cold water. Using hands, mix well to combine.

2. Shape mixture into meatballs, 1 1/4 inches in diameter.

3. In large kettle (pot), combine boullion cubes, butter, and 4 cups
water; boil.

4. Drop meatballs, one by one, into boiling liquid. Return to boiling;
reduce heat, and simmer, covered, 50 minutes.

5. Mean while, make lemon sauce:  In top of double boiler, over hot, not
boiling, water, using rotary beater, beat eggs with 2 tbsp cold water
until light and fluffy.

6. Remove 1/4 cup hot boullion from kettle; gradually add to egg mixture,
beating constantly.

7.  Gradually stir in lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until
sauce thickens. Add salt. Remove from heat; let stand over hot water 5
minutes before serving.

8. To serve:  With slotted spoon, remove meatballs to serving dish. Pour
sauce over them. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve the meatballs with
cooked rice or mashed potatoes, if desired.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
