Bobotie consists of a curried meat layer topped with an egg based layer. It smells GREAT when it's baking!
I got the recipe from the BBC Good Food website, but I made some changes. I couldn't find any allspice berries and so I used powdered all spice instead. I didn't use any sultanas as Matt doesn't like them. Finally I used 1% milk instead of whole fat. I added some greek yogurt instead to try and thicken it up a little.
Matt really enjoyed it! I thought it was nice, but I would not make it again for myself. I will make it again in future though, because Matt said he'd definitely like to have it again.
This morning we woke up to about 5 inches of snow on the ground. So we decided that we'd head down to the Cuyahoga National Park for a snowy walk. We stocked up before hand on a breakfast roll. It contained Irish style bacon, black and white pudding.
To be honest, it looks better than it tasted. The puddings were very plain and not at all spiced.
The walk, however, was great! It was so nice to trounce around in the snow through the woods. We did a relatively short walk, we aren't used to walking much of a distance in snow and so the hills that we usually climb seemed a lot tougher!
I love Bobotie, but prefer it made with lamb. Our friend in South Africa makes it with beef.
ReplyDeleteLooks good in the snow, we had quite a bit of that here too the last few days.
