The National Dish You Never Heard Of (Bobotie)

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Soak the bread in milk until soft, then squeeze out excess milk.

In a skillet, sauté chopped onion, garlic until translucent.

Add minced meat to the skillet and cook until browned.

Stir in curry powder, salt, and pepper, cooking for 2-3 minutes.

Mix in chopped apricots, almonds, and sultanas.

In a bowl, combine the soaked bread, remaining milk, and egg, then mix into the meat mixture.

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and smooth the top.

Place bay leaves on top of the mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until set and golden.
