Bobotie

Amount	Ingredient
2 pounds	ground beef (or mixed beef & mutton)
1	finely chopped large onion
2 cloves	garlic, finely chopped
1 or 2 teaspoons	curry powder
1 or 2 tablespoons	apricot jam
1 or 2 tablespoons	chutney

Preparation Tips:

Soak bread and raisins in 1/2 cup milk and vinegar (overnight if possible). In large pan, lightly fry onion and garlic, then add ground beef in little lumps; thereafter curry, jam, chutney, salt, pepper and soaked bread and raisins. Mix well together and leave to simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the meat mixture into a greased Pyrex dish and cook in a slow - medium oven for about 30 minutes. Remove and pour a mixture of eggs and 3/4 cup milk, beaten together, over it. Top with 2 or 3 bay and/or lemon leaves as decoration. Return to oven for another 20 - 30 minutes or until a browny - gold color.
Bobotie is served hot with saffron or turmeric rice, "sambals" (little bowls) of wheels of bananas and chutney (essential!). It can also be served with: finely cubed tomatoes with a dash of onion; dried coconut; cubed pineapple; a cucumber/yogurt/garlic mixture.
