Traditional Bobotie – Beef Veal Food Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

1 Thick slice white bread

250 ml milk

1 large onion, finely chopped or coarsely grated

25 ml cooking oil

37 1/2 ml lemon juice

10 ml curry powder

5 ml sugar

5 ml salt

pinch of pepper

500 g minced mutton or beef

2 eggs

12 1/2 ml fruit chutney

3 fresh lemon leaves (optional)

Soak the bread in the milk. Using a large frying pan or a heavy-based

saucepan, saute the onion in the cooking oil until it is lightly

browned. Combine the lemon juice, curry powder, sugar, salt and

pepper and stir the mixture into the onion.

Squeeze most of the milk out of the bread, keeping the milk for

later.

Mash the bread and add it to the onion mixture. Add the minced

meat, 1 egg and all but 100ml of the milk. Mix well. Add the

chutney and allow the mixture to cook for a while, stirring often.

Preheat the oven to 180 Celcius (350F). Grease a 1,5l ovenproof

dish, or spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the meat

mixture to the dish. Place in the oven for a few minutes. Beat

the remaining egg and the 100ml milk. Pour the mixture over the

bobotie. Roll the lemon leaves into funnels and insert them in

the bobotie. Bake the bobotie for 30min. Serve hot.
