Bobotie

Bobotie is a South African meatloaf type dish. I tried this today - it does need tweaking.

400g ground beef
2 slices bread
a little milk
handful dried apricots
1 onion (chopped)
1/2 red pepper (chopped)
approx 1 tbs curry mix (I used a Thai mix)
1 tin cococut milk
1 tbs flour
4 kaffir lime leaves
Salt & pepper


Fry off the onions & peppers in a little oil. When soft, stir in the curry mix and stir until fragrant.
Soak the bread in the milk. Stir in the ground meat, chopped apricots, 2 eggs and the onion mix.
Mix thoroughly. Season with salt & pepper.
Pour into loaf pan - I used a 2lb one.
Mix together coconut milk, flour and last egg. Pour over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake at gas 5/6 (approx 200C) for at least 30minutes - till top has browned slightly.


It wasn't wuite right - needed a bit more seasoning and a touch of sour - make mix in some tomato puree or ketchup into the mix.

It was good - just needed more seasoning and a touch of sour just to bring in some more flavour.
