It seems that everyone has their own unique version of bobotie out there. Although mine will likely become refined through the years, here is what I have come up with as a basic recipe.
This dish lends itself to variety and change, so have fun with it!
1 lb ground meat of choice (beef, lamb, or turkey)
1 diced onion
few tbsp oil
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped apricots (or preserves)
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup chopped roasted almonds or macadamia
2 bay leaves
2 tsp curry
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cardamom
grated nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
pinch cayenne *optional
Custard Topping:
1/2 cup milk or half and half
1 egg
dash salt, pepper, nutmeg
Soften raisins and apricot in apple cider vinegar, set aside. Saute onion and garlic in oil until soft, add in meat and seasonings and saute for a few minutes on medium heat (does not need to be fully cooked), add in breadcrumbs, nuts, brown sugar, raisins, apricots, and vinegar and stir to incorporate. Remove from heat and pour into a brownie pan (8x8) or small casserole dish. Bake for ~30 min at 350 or until meat begins to brown on top; remove from oven and top with custard mix (whisked together) and bay leaves; increase temp to 400F and bake ~15-20 min or until custard has set and lightly browned.
