About the Recipe: Bobotie is ground meat that is spiced with curry, turmeric, cumin, garlic, herbs, salt, and black pepper. Some recipes add raisins. It is baked, topped with an egg, milk custard and garnished with bay leaves or as desired.
History of Bobotie:
Bobotie’s roots in South Africa date back to the 17th century. Dutch traders set up camp in the area that is now Cape Town as a stopping point on their journeys back and forth to Indonesia. The traders brought spices, cooking techniques, and recipes with them. It appears that the original bobotie recipe was adapted to fit the ingredients that were available. Today many consider bobotie to be the national dish of South Africa.

Cook’s Note: I used a plant based beef for the ground beef and needed to add additional oil and some water to the ground plant beef. I also used mild fruit chutney but spicy can be substituted. I added some additional garnish and served it with a kohlrabi rice salad with chopped radishes, seeded chopped tomatoes, and shredded red cabbage.
- Bake, uncovered in oven at 350°F for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serves: 4 to 6
