Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Pour cold water over the bread and set aside to soak.
• Meanwhile, fry the onions in the butter, stirring regularly for 10 mins until they are soft and starting to colour. Add the garlic and beef and stir well, crushing the mince into fine grains until it changes colour. Stir in the curry paste, herbs, spices, chutney, sultanas and 2 of the bay leaves with 1 tsp salt and plenty of ground black pepper.
• Cover and simmer for 10 mins. Squeeze the water from the bread, then beat into the meat mixture until well blended. Tip into an oval ovenproof dish (23 x 33cm and about 5-6cm deep). Press the mixture down well and smooth the top. You can make this and chill 1 day ahead.
• For the topping, beat the milk and eggs with seasoning, then pour over the meat. Top with the remaining bay leaves and bake for 35-40 mins until the topping is set and starting to turn golden.

BOBOTIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then onions, apple, and ginger; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown and tender, about 15 minutes. (Reduce heat if vegetables brown too quickly.) Add turmeric and curry powder to onion mixture; stir to combine. Add lamb, and cook, breaking up large pieces with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Stir in almonds, and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Tear bread into large pieces, and place in a small bowl. Add 1/4 cup milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and let stand until milk is absorbed. Add bread mixture to lamb, and cook, stirring frequently, until bottom of pan begins to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in apricot preserves and lemon juice, scraping up browned bits from bottom. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon lamb into a 6-cup shallow baking dish. Whisk eggs, nutmeg, lemon zest, and remaining 1 1/2 cups milk in a medium bowl. Pour over lamb. Place bay leaves in dish, pressing into filling. Bake until set around edges and center is no longer runny, 35 to 45 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with desired accompaniments and rice.

BOBOTI

Steps:

• Use a pan which can be used in the oven
• Preheat the oven at 160C
• Snipper de ui en de knoflook. Snij de ananas, banaan en appel in blokjes. Verhit wat olie in een braadpan, liefst eentje die ook in de oven kan. Fruit daarin de ui, knoflook en de fruitblokjes samen met het kerriepoeder. Daarna gaan de laurierbladeren erbij, het gehakt, plus zout en peper. Bak het gehakt rul in circa 10 minuten. Week het brood in de melk tot het zacht is en knijp uit (maar bewaar de melk). Roer het brood door het gehaktmengsel. Klop in een kom de eieren los met de melk en giet de helft in de pan. Roer alles door elkaar.
• Als je geen ovenvaste pan hebt, is dit het moment om alles over te hevelen naar een ovenschaal. Strijk de bovenkant glad. Giet nu de rest van het ei-melkmengsel erover en bestrooi met het amandelschaafsel. Dek af met een deksel of aluminiumfolie en zet 1 uur in de oven.
• Eet dit met witte rijst gemengd met wilde rijst waar ze tijdens het koken een handje rozijnen en zes in reepjes gesneden gedroogde abrikozen toevoegt. Een snufje koenjit zorgt voor een zonnig geel kleurtje.
