A rustic, hearty dish from South Africa
- 25g butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 500g minced beef
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2cm fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 2 cloves
- 3 allspice berries
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 50g dried apricots, chopped
- 25g flaked almonds
- 3 tbsp chutney
- 4 tbsp chopped parsley
- 4 bay leaves, plus extra to garnish
- 250ml whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 50g sultanas
Preheat the oven to 180C. Heat the butter in a saucepan and cook the onions until soft. Set aside.
Place a large frying pan over a high heat and fry the beef, without oil, until golden brown. Remove from heat and add the onions together with all the other ingredients except the milk and eggs. Mix well and put into 4 x 300ml ovenproof bowls or a large ovenproof dish. Press the mixture down with the back of a spoon.
Beat the milk and eggs together lightly and pour over the mince mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes for small boboties (and 30-40 minutes for a large one) or until the topping has set and is golden brown.
