2014/09/27 by Rania Leave a Comment

BobotieBobotie is the closest dish that South Africa has to a national dish. Influenced by the various settlers, it contains curry, fruit, herbs and spices and is delicious served with a spicy sambal or chilli sauce.

This recipe was selected from the BBC Good Food website with some minor variations

Ingredients

For the filling:

2 onions, chopped
25g butter
2 cloves garlic, mince

½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons mango chutney
2 slices of wholemeal bread
3 tablespoons sultanas
6 bay leaves

For the topping:

300ml full cream milk
2 large eggs

2. Pour cold water over the bread and put to one side to soak.
3. Fry the onions in the butter for 10 mins until soft.
