A super simple yet tasty traditional South African favourite. Fragrant layers of spiced beef mince are embedded with golden sultanas and curry spices. A soft turmeric egg makes the perfect golden topping. Served with coriander-infused white basmati rice and a tomato & cucumber salad. Good, better, bobotie!

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.
SOME PREP
Rinse, peel, trim, and cut the carrot into small chunks. Peel and finely dice ½ the onion. Rinse and halve the baby tomatoes. Rinse and cut the cucumber into half-moons.
GOLDEN CROWN
In a bowl, combine 50ml of milk, the turmeric, and seasoning. Crack in 1 egg and whisk until combined. Set aside.
FLAVOURFUL MINCE
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, until soft and browned, 4-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add in the mince and break it up as it starts to cook. Allow to caramelise until browned, 3-4 minutes (stirring occasionally). Add the bobotie spice (to taste), the sultanas, and ½ the chutney, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add 50ml of water, and simmer until slightly reduced and thickened, 5-8 minutes (stirring occasionally). Season.
TO TOP IT ALL OFF
Evenly spread out the cooked mince mix in an ovenproof dish. Pour over the egg topping. Bake in the hot oven until the topping is set and golden, 15-20 minutes.
FRESH SIDE SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the halved baby tomatoes, the cucumber half-moons, the vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
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. Lekker, Chef!
