Bobotie



INGREDIENTS:

2 sl White bread

milk

2 onions, thinly sliced

1 Apple, peeled and diced

2 tb butter 

1 lb Ground lamb

2 tb sugar 

2 tb Cider vinegar

1/4 t  salt 

1/4 t  Black pepper

1/4 c  Raisins

2 Eggs

12 blanched almonds, coarsely chopped

6 Kaffir lime leaves

1 c  milk

1 t  Turmeric

Cooked white rice (opt)

chutney (opt)

DIRECTIONS:

1. This curry-flavored meatloaf recipe made the rounds years
ago, when kaffir lime leaves were unknown here. Most people
used bay leaves instead, or even lemon oro range leaves from
a backyard tree. However, it takes the kaffir leaves to add
the proper touch of delicate, lemony perfume.
  
2. Soak bread in bowl with milk to cover until soft, then
squeeze dry. Saute onions and apple in skillet with butter
until tender and not browned. Add bread, lamb, curry powder,
sugar, vinegar, salt, pepper and raisins. Add one beaten egg
and almonds and mix thoroughly.
  
3. Pack mixture lightly into 9x5" baking dish. Arrange lime
leaves on top. Bake at 350'F. 1 hour. Beat remaining egg with
milk. Stir in turmeric. Pour over meatloaf and bake 15 minutes
longer. Serve with rice and chutney.
