Dairy-Free Bobotie with Coconut Milk
A flavorful South African minced meat dish, traditionally made with egg custard, here reimagined with coconut milk for a creamy, dairy-free finish. Served with yellow rice and chutney.
Ingredients
- 1 kg Ground Beef
- 1 large Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Curry Powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Grated Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Apple Chutney
- 1/4 cup Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Almond Flour
- 1 cup Coconut Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2Heat the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large (e.g., 12-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced 1 large onion and the minced 2 cloves of garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent.
- 3Add the 1 kg of ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until the beef is fully browned and no pink remains. Carefully drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- 4Stir in the 2 tablespoons of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, 2 tablespoons of apple chutney, 1/4 cup of raisins, and 2 tablespoons of almond flour. Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to allow the spices to become fragrant.
- 5Transfer the entire meat mixture evenly into an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) or similar medium-sized baking dish.
- 6In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of coconut milk and the 2 large eggs until well combined. Carefully pour this coconut milk and egg mixture evenly over the meat in the baking dish.
- 7Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is set, firm to the touch, and lightly golden brown on top.
- 8Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Let the bobotie rest for 5 minutes before serving hot with yellow rice and extra apple chutney.
