Ingredients

• 2 lb Ground Beef
• 1 large Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Curry Powder
• 1 tsp Turmeric
• 1 tsp Ground Coriander
• 1/2 cup Raisins
• 1/4 cup Almonds
• 2 slices Bread
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 cup Vegetable Broth
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 1/4 cup Apricot Jam
• To Serve Chutney

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. 2In a small bowl, place the 2 slices of Bread and pour the 1 cup of Milk over them. Let them soak while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
3. 3Finely chop the 1 large Onion and mince the 3 cloves of Garlic. In a large pan over medium-high heat, add the 2 lb Ground Beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess fat.
4. 4Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan with the browned ground beef. Cook, stirring, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the 2 tbsp Curry Powder, 1 tsp Turmeric, 1 tsp Ground Coriander, 1/2 cup Raisins, 1/4 cup Almonds, 1 tsp Salt, and 1/2 tsp Black Pepper. Mix everything together well and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
5. 5Squeeze out any excess milk from the soaked bread and add the bread to the meat mixture in the pan. Stir in the 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar and 1 tbsp Apricot Jam. Mix until well combined.
6. 6In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 tbsp Cornstarch and 2 tbsp Water until smooth. Pour the 1 cup Vegetable Broth into the pan with the meat mixture. Bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue to simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
7. 7Pour the entire meat mixture into a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set.
8. 8Let the Bobotie rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve hot with your Chutney.
