A soft turmeric egg makes the perfect golden topping. Served with white basmati rice and a tomato & cucumber salad. Good, better, lentil bobotie!

  1. READY THE RICE

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, stir through ¾ of the chopped coriander, and cover.

  2. GOLDEN CROWN

    In a bowl, combine 50ml of milk, the turmeric, and seasoning. Crack in 1 egg and whisk until combined. Set aside.

  3. SMELL THOSE FAMILIAR FLAVOURS

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the carrot chunks and the diced onion. Fry until soft and browned, 4-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix in the bobotie spice (to taste), the rinsed lentils, the sultanas, ½ the chutney, and 50ml of water. Simmer until slightly reduced and thickened, 5-8 minutes (stirring occasionally). Season.

  4. TO TOP IT ALL OFF

    Evenly spread out the cooked lentil mix in an ovenproof dish. Pour over the egg topping. Bake in the oven until the topping is set and golden, 15-20 minutes.

  5. A SIDE OF SALAD

    In a bowl, combine the halved baby tomatoes, the cucumber half-moons, the vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.

  6. DELISH TRADISH DISH

    Dish up the coriander rice and the golden bobotie. Garnish with the remaining coriander and dollop over the remaining chutney. Serve the tomato salad on the side. Geniet dit, Chef!
