Noodles and meat pie – meat Kugel

• Chop the onion.
• Heat canola oil in a large skillet.
• Fry the onion in the pan until it becomes translucent.
• Add the ground beef and cook, stirring until it changes color completely.
• Add the nutmeg, salt and pepper and the chopped coriander.
• Cook while stirring for another 3-4 minutes and turn off the heat.
• Transfer the meat to a bowl - with no liquids (or as little as possible - if you can put the meat through a strainer - it would be better) and let it cool at room temperature.
• Cook the spaghetti perfectly - not 'al dente'.
• When the spaghetti is ready - Drain the water completely and let it cool at room temperature.
• In a bowl, beat the eggs with the chili pepper and a little salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a flat, wide pot.
• When the oil is hot – Put in half a pot of readily prepared spaghetti - evenly.
• Fry for a minute and a half - and place the ground beef evenly over the spaghetti.
• Arrange over the rest of the spaghetti.
• Pour the egg mixture over the spaghetti (not all in the middle - but especially on the sides).
• Close with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes.

Now the challenging part - turn the pie upside down!

• Take a large plate or surface - place it in the dish and using a towel or gloves – turn the dish over and onto the plate.
• Now – place the dish back on the fire - and slide the pie back in - when the part was on top is now on the bottom.
• Close the lid and cook for another 10-12 minutes until browned and the lower part becomes crispy.
• Remove from the heat, let the pie cool for fifteen minutes - 20 minutes.
• There it is! Ready to be eaten..... Cut into quarters or sixths and serve with fresh salad.
• Bon Appetit!
