South African Bobotie Recipe

Preheat oven to 350F (180C).

Soak the bread in milk and set aside.

In a large pan or skillet heat oil, add chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add grated carrot and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add turmeric, curry powder, cumin and cook for 1 minute.

Add the beef, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Add the chutney and stir. Add 1/2 cup of water (or beef broth) and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Squeeze the milk from the bread, reserving the milk for later. Add the bread to the meat mixture and mix well.

Spread the mixture evenly into an oven proof dish.

To the remaining milk add another 1/2 cup of milk, add 2 eggs, salt and pepper. Whisk until combined. Pour over the meat mixture and arrange bay leaves on top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden and egg layer is set.
