About the dish

Kololik is a traditional meatball soup. The meatballs are made with a combination of ground lamb, rice, onions, parsley, and seasonings. The soup is prepared with a combination of onions, beef stock, rice, and tarragon or basil, and sometimes potatoes. Both the soup and the meatballs are simmered together until the rice and meatballs become tender and springy. If the soup is not thick enough, it's recommended to use beaten eggs as a thickening agent. Kololik is ladled into soup bowls while still hot, but the leftovers also make for a great meal the next day.
