Cookbook:Bobotie
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
Bobotie is a bit like a shepherd's pie.
- Minced beef is slow-cooked with curry powder and lots of spices, such as turmeric, coriander, cloves, cumin and bay.
- Dried fruit - apricots and sultana's - and almonds are optional extras and give the bobotie a wonderful sweet and sour flavour.
- The mince mixture is placed in a bowl, topped with an egg custard (e.g. egg and milk whipped together) and baked in the oven until the custard browns.
Bobotie is almost always served with yellow rice (rice cooked with turmeric, raisins and cloves) and accompanied with a fruit chutney.
