Dairy-Free Bobotie with Coconut Topping

Ingredients

• 1 kg Ground Beef
• 2 medium Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Curry Powder
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric
• 1 medium Grated Apple
• 2 tablespoons Chutney
• 2 slices Bread
• 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 can Coconut Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the 2 slices of bread in a small bowl and pour the 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar over them; let the bread soak until it is softened, about 5 minutes.
2. 2While the bread soaks, finely chop the 2 medium onions and 3 cloves of garlic. In a large, heavy-bottomed pan or skillet, brown the 1 kg of ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon. Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat, then add the chopped 2 medium onions and 3 cloves of garlic, cooking until the onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. 3Stir in the 2 tablespoons of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric, the 1 medium grated apple, and the 2 tablespoons of chutney. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is fragrant.
4. 4Squeeze any excess liquid from the softened 2 slices of bread and crumble them into the meat mixture. Add the 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
5. 5Transfer the entire meat mixture into a 9x13 inch (or similar size) baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the 2 eggs with the 1 can of coconut milk until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
6. 6Carefully pour the coconut milk and egg mixture over the meat in the baking dish, ensuring it covers the surface. Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the topping is golden brown and set when gently jiggled.
7. 7Remove the bobotie from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the topping to fully set and the flavors to meld.
