Directions
Bobotie
-
Soak bread in milk first.
Heat oil in a pan and saute onion and garlic until translucent; add curry powder, turmeric and nutmeg and fry lightly, taking care the spices do not burn.
Add mince to pan, breaking up pieces, so that the mince takes on colour and browns.
Squeeze milk out of bread, reserving the milk for later.
Add bread, Worcestershire Sauce, chutney, lemon rind and juice, raisins to the mince mixture and allow to cook, stirring well.
Add salt to taste.
Mix in the egg and spoon mince mixture into an ovenproof dish, smoothing the top. Bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove from oven.
Whisk together the topping ingredients, except the nuts and bayleaf.
Pour topping over the baked mince; place bayleaf on top and sprinkle with almonds.
Return to oven for another 30 minutes until the topping is set.
Serve with extra chutney, yellow rice and freshly sliced banana.
