Recipe and source notes

Yerushalmi Kugel (Sweet Noodle Casserole)

6 servings Source yield

Ingredients

  • 8 oz (200 g) noodles (egg noodles are preferred, but others work fine as well)
  • ⅔ cup (160 g) sugar (white sugar is helpful because it's more obvious when it begins to brown)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 handful of raisins
  • 1–2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 eggs

Make it step by step

  1. Boil noodles according to the package instructions and drain.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, and add ⅓ cup (80 g) sugar.
  3. Stir continuously until the sugar begins to brown. Remove from heat.
  4. The sugar will continue to brown for a few more minutes, creating a thick caramel.
  5. Add the caramel to the noodles.
  6. Add the sugar, eggs, cinnamon, pepper, and raisins. Stir.
  7. Bake in a pan at 350°F (180°C) until the top begins to brown (about 40 minutes).
