Beef and lentil bobotie Preparation and Cooking Time: 1 and a half Hours. Serves 6 |
| Ingredients: 1 slice soft brown bread 500g minced beef (you can also use ostrich as a healthier option) 300g tinned lentils, rinsed and drained 1 small red onion, finely chopped 10ml mild chutney 20ml lemon juice 60ml raisins 180ml milk 1 large egg Method: Heat the oven to 180° Soak the bread in the milk, remove and squeeze to get rid of excess milk Mix the bread in with the mince Then add the lentils, onion, lemon juice, raisons and chutney to the mince Using a non-stick pan, cook the meat mixture in a little bit of water until lightly brown Remove and place in a large overproof dish Beat the eggs and the milk together until light yellow, and pour over the meat Bake in the oven for about 1hour Serve with rice, sambals and banana. Tip: For a stronger flavour, you can add one to two teaspoons curry powder to the mince before cooking it, as well as placing some bay leaves on top of the dish before placing it in the oven. By substituting some of the meat with lentils, the fat content is lowered and fibre is added. |
