South African Bobotie

• 1 yellow onion medium, chopped finely
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 tablespoon spanish paprika not traditional but we threw it in at the end for added flavor
• 1 pound ground beef or lamb, we're using lamb

• 1/4 cup raisins or chopped dried apricots
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 large eggs
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg freshly
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest finely

1. Saute onions & ginger in oil until soft and golden ~10 min, season with salt & pepper. Add the turmeric and curry powder and simmer 1 min or so until fragrant. Add the meat and cook until nicely browned, then stir in the almonds and cook for ~2 min.
2. While the onion mixture is cooking, tear the bread into medium sized pieces and cover with 1/4 milk and a pinch of salt. Once the milk is absorbed add it to the meat and cook for a few minutes more. Stir in the chutney and lemon juice. Spoon into a shallow baking dish.
3. Whisk eggs, nutmeg, zest and remaining milk, then pour over meat. Press bay leaves into dish and bake until center is set, ~35 min. Let stand for ~15 min.
