Avgolemono Recipe

Avgolemono

This week the international destination that I am travelling to is Greece! Oh to go to Greece for real! Definitely one of my top 5 wishes. Luckily though I am just walking distance from a wonderful restaurant that has served our town since 1973. It was at The Continental Corner that I was first introduced to this sauce – Avgolemono. It is a lemon-egg sauce and it compliments fish, chicken and vegetables perfectly. My version of the recipe follows.
