Posted on July 24th, 2008 by admin

Bobotie is a favorite, traditional South African recipe. This oven baked meat dish is wonderful when served with yellow rice, sweet carrots and peas.

Ingredients

500g minced meat
2 chopped onions
125ml raisins
12,5ml sugar
2 slices of bread
250ml milk
2 eggs
10ml curry powder
10ml turmeric
125ml vinegar or lemon juice
Salt to taste

Method

Soak the bread in the milk. Squeeze out the milk and keep it separate. Mix the bread with the meat and add raisins. Fry onions until soft. Add curry, turmeric, sugar and vinegar. Add the meat and fry until it is warm. Dish into an oven-safe dish and level the meat to form a flat surface. Add the eggs to the milk and mix well. Pour it over the meat. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 1 hour.
