Babotee RecipeOrigin: South Africa Period: Traditional |
|
Many consider this to be the national dish of South Africa, though it probably actually arrived there along with Malaysian immigrants during the 17th century. Ingredients
1 tbsp vegetable oil 
Babotee Preparation:Method:Heat the oil in a frying pan over moderate heat and fry the chopped onions until tender and translucent (about 4 minutes). Remove from the pan and reserve. Meanwhile soak the bread in the milk. Squeeze out the excess milk and reserve both bread and milk for later use. In a large bowl, combine the fried onions, bread, meat, salt, pepper, curry powder, brown sugar, lemon juice, chopped almonds, raisins, apple and 1 egg in a large bowl. Combine to mix thoroughly with your hands. Place the meat mixture in a greased casserole dish and bake, uncovered, in an oven pre-heated to 120°C for 30 minutes. Mix together the remaining eggs, reserved milk, bay leaves and pour over the meat mixture. Decorate with the onion rings and extra almonds. Raise the oven temperature to 180°C and bake for an additional 45 minutes. Serve with rice and/or flat bread. |
