South African Bobotie

• 2 pounds, 3-13 ounces, weight Minced/ground Beef
• 1 whole Onion, Chopped
• 1/2 cups Raisins
• 1/2 cups Almond Slivers
• 2 Tablespoons Fruit Chutney (I Recommend Mrs. Balls)
• 2 Tablespoons Apricot Jam
• 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
• 2 teaspoons Curry Powder
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 slice Sandwich Bread
• 1 cup Milk, Divided Use
• 2 teaspoons Oil
• 3 whole Eggs
• 4 whole Bay Leaves

1. Bobotie is pronounced Buh-Boo-uh-Tea
2. In a bowl, throw together the beef, chopped onion, raisins, almonds, chutney, jam, lemon juice, curry powder, turmeric and salt.
3. Soak the bread in 1/2 cup of milk.
4. Once soaked, squeeze the excess milk out of the bread and add the bread to the mixture.
5. Blend well with hands to mix ingredients together.
6. Pour 2 teaspoons of oil into a pan and add the meat mixture.
7. Brown over medium heat and then transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish.
8. Pack firmly into the casserole dish.
9. Mix together the eggs, remaining 1/2 cup of milk and pour over the top of the meat mixture.
10. The egg mixture should form a layer on top of the meat.
11. Place the bay leaves on top of the egg mixture and bake in the oven at 350F until set about 50 minutes.
12. Serve with a salad and fresh dinner rolls or sourdough bread.
