Have a recommendation? Tried the below recipe? We’d love to hear from you on our socials @UWTSDUnion #FoodFridays.  

 

This week it’s South African Bobotie.  

 

Pronounced 'ba-boor-tea', this casserole dish is considered the National dish of South Africa. It’s a mixture of curried meat and fruit with a creamy egg custard topping. A comforting meal, full of the flavours of Africa! 

 

Origins. 

Bobotie is a recipe that was imported to South Africa from Indonesia in the seventeenth century and was adapted by the Cape Malay community. 

 

The Recipe 

We’ve picked out this BBC Good Food recipe that uses lamb mince; feel free to substitute beef instead, or a meat-alternative to cater to your dietary needs.
