TRADITIONAL SOUTH AFRICAN (BOBOTIE RECIPE)

Ingredients

-         10ml butter

-         2 onions, sliced

-         1 fairly thick slice crustless bread (white or brown)

-         375 ml milk

-         25 ml oil

  -         100 ml sultanas (don’t replace with raisins – they are too sweet; sultanas are much better for this recipe)

-         3 eggs

-         2 cloves garlic, crushed

-         25 ml curry powder

-         15ml Worcester sauce

-         5ml turmeric

-         25ml brown vinegar

-         10ml salt

-         25ml chutney

-         15ml smooth apricot jam

-         1 kg raw mince

-         pinch each salt and turmeric

-         bay leaves

  Method

    -         Soak bread in milk. Heat oil and butter in large pan and fry onions and garlic.

    -         When onions are soft, add curry powder, salt, chutney, jam, Worcester sauce, turmeric and vinegar and mix well.

    -         Drain and mash bread and reserve milk. Add bread to pan together with mince and sultanas.

    -         Cook over low heat, stirring, and when meat loses its pinkness, remove from stove. Add 1 beaten egg, mix well, and then spoon into a greased, 28 x 16 cm baking dish and level the top.

    -         Beat remaining eggs with reserved milk (you should have 300ml, or a little more) and the salt and turmeric.

    -         Pour over meat mixture and put a few bay leaves on top. Stand dish in a larger pan of water (this is important to prevent drying out) and bake, uncovered, at 180 degrees Celsius for 1 hour or until set.

Serve with rice, coconut, chutney, nuts and bananas.
