Ingredients

  • about 450 g Ground Beef
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Curry Powder
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/4 cup Chutney
  • 2 tbsp Almond Flour

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 175°C.
  2. 2Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 medium onion, chopped, and the 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
  3. 3Add the about 450 g ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned, about 8-10 minutes. Carefully drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  4. 4Stir in the 2 tbsp curry powder, 1 tsp turmeric, 1/4 cup chutney, 2 tbsp almond flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  5. 5In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup milk and 2 eggs until well combined.
  6. 6Pour the milk and egg mixture over the meat mixture in the skillet. Stir gently to combine everything evenly.
  7. 7Transfer the entire mixture from the skillet into a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden brown.
  8. 8Let the bobotie rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with the 4 cups of cauliflower rice.
