Ingredients:

Olive oil, to grease
2 brown onions, halved, finely chopped
2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
250ml (1 cup) beef stock
140g (3/4 cup) instant polenta (cornmeal)
1kg beef mince
2 eggs, lightly whisked
24.40 gm Worcestershire sauce
23.40 gm Dijon mustard
1 tsp dill seeds
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 rashers middle bacon
40g (1/4 cup) pistachio kernels
4 Lebanese cucumbers, coarsely grated
4.80 gm salt
3 tsp coarsely chopped fresh dill
40.00 ml balsamic vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

For a delicious cucumber salad, gently mix cucumber and salt in a glass bowl. Let it sit for 1 hour to tenderize. Drain in a sieve, then transfer to a fresh bowl. Toss in dill and vinegar, stirring well. Season with pepper to taste.
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Lightly grease a 2L (8-cup) ovenproof dish with oil. In a frying pan over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic in oil for 3 minutes until onions soften. Stir in lemon rind, then remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Once the onion mixture has cooled, bring the stock to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Pour the hot stock into a heatproof bowl with the polenta and stir until combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes to cool.
Combine the polenta mixture, onion mixture, mince, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and dill seeds in a bowl, stirring with a fork until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the mince mixture evenly in the dish. Layer with bacon slices and generously sprinkle with pistachios. Bake in your preheated oven until beautifully golden and fully cooked, about 35-40 minutes. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Slice the meatloaf and enjoy it with a refreshing cucumber salad.
