1/2 c. chopped onion
3 tbsp. butter
1 lb. ground beef
1 egg, beaten
2 slices bread soaked in 1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 c. dry bread crumbs
2 c. plain yogurt

Saute onion in 1 tablespoon butter until transparent. Cool slightly. Mix with meat, egg, bread and seasonings. Shape into 1 1/4 inch balls and roll them in dry bread crumbs.

Brown slowly in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons fat. Gently spoon yogurt over and around meatballs. Simmer for 20 minutes. Serve hot with rice or wheat pilaf. For extra flavor dissolve a bouillon cube in the water used to cook the rice. Serves 6 to 8.
