SOUTH AFRICA’S BOBOTIE – Beef Veal Food Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

3 tbsp. butter or margarine

1 1/2 c. chopped onion

2 c. fresh bread crumbs

1/2 c. milk

3 lbs. chuck beef, ground 3 times

1 egg

1 to 2 tbsp. curry powder

2 tsp. salt

2 tbsp. plum jam

2 tbsp. lemon juice

1/4 c. ground blanched almonds

3 bay leaves

2 lemons, sliced

Lemon leaves

2 pimento strips

Start heating oven to 350 degrees. In a small skillet, melt butter;

add onion and saute until golden. Soak bread crumbs in milk.

Thoroughly combine chuck, egg, onion, curry powder, salt, plum jam,

lemon juice and almonds. Also bread crumb mixture. In the bottom

of a ungreased 10 inch pie plate or round baking dish, lay bay

leaves. On top, arrange the meat mixture, patting it with a fork.

Leave about an inch between mixture and edge of dish or plate.

Bake 1 hour; then drain off any excess liquid. Serve with lemon

slices and leaves arrange as a border around the edge of the meat:

lemon slices touching with leaves placed under slices where they

meet. Take a lemon slice, cut half way, twist it and place on top

with pimento strips running under the twist of the lemon. Serve

in wedges. Makes 8 servings.
