2 lb. finely ground lean lamb or hamburger
1 c. finely chopped parsley
1 tsp. allspice
1 c. finely chopped onion or scallions
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/3 c. flour
1 egg, beaten
4 hard boiled eggs
Ice water
2 tbsp. rendered butter
2 tbsp. tomato paste
3/4 c. water

Mix together meat, parsley, allspice, scallions, salt, pepper, and beaten egg. Add flour and knead well. Put through meat grinder to mix well. Knead thoroughly again for about 10 minutes to bind all ingredients together, add a little water if necessary.

Wet hands and form mixture into 4 equal balls. Take each ball and flatten out with hands. Put peeled hard boiled egg in the center. Fold meat all around. Use wet hands to shape into egg shaped ball. Press and smooth out so mixture firmly adheres to egg. Brown this roll in hot rendered butter, turning to cover all sides. Remove to baking dish. Brown well 4 rolls. Add tomato paste and water to remaining butter in pan.

Stir and pour this mixture over meat rolls. Cover baking dish and place at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes until cooked. Cool rolls and place in refrigerator. When ready to serve slice cold rolls in circular shape so that egg and yolk will appear in center of each slice. Top with heated sauce.
