Bobotie

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg minced lamb
    125ml milk
    1 thick slice of white bread, crust removed and soaked in milk
    2 roughly chopped onions butter
    Salt
    1 tablespoon of curry powder (mix the hot and the Cape Malay versions for a good flavour)
    1 chili, finely chopped (optional and only if you like your food quite hot)
    ½ cup vinegar
    1 tablespoon of lemon juice
    1 teaspoon of brown sugar
    1 tablespoon of chutney
    8 -10 crushed almonds (optional)
    3 eggs
    1 clove of garlic, crushed and finely chopped
    6 bay leaves
    1 orange, sliced in wheels
    1 lemon, sliced in wheels
    Oil for cooking

 

Directions:

Heat the oil in frying pan and add the garlic, onion and curry power. Cook over medium heat for three minutes, then add the mince meat. Fry until the meat is almost done, then using your hands, squeeze the milk from the bread. Discard the milk and add the bread, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and chutney to the mince. Fry for a minute or so and then remove from heat.

Take a pie dish and place three bay leaves, two wheels of orange and two wheels of lemon at the bottom. Now scoop the mince mixture into the dish. Decorate the sides of the dish with the rest of the lemon and orange wheels, wedging them between the mince and the sides of the dish so that only a third protrudes. If you are using almonds, push them into the mince.

Beat the eggs and 125ml milk, and pour over the meat. Put three bay leaves on top of dish. Place the dish uncovered in the oven and cook for about 30 minutes at 160 deg Celsius.
