Adapted from the Afi Chef website. Posting for ZWT 4. This lacks the fruit that is common in a lot of Bobotie recipes and is the reason I was attracted to it in the first place. It has a nice light curry flavour and a hint of sweetness.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Topping

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk

Directions

A lot of flavors that made a wonderful dish. I LOVED the smell coming from the oven while i was cooking this. The only "problem" i had was that the meat had shrunk so much i had to make four times as much topping because it went straight to the sides. Made for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers, ZWT4

    An interesting way to make meatloaf, but then, that's just a typical American talking about an African recipe! This loaf was great tasting, but another time, to loose some of the cholesterol, I might try using ground turkey (as another reviewer had done) & an egg substitute for the topping!

    My DH was skeptical going into it, as usual, but said to give this 5 stars when it was on his plate! We made as directed, and didn't wait for the top to "set" after 10 minutes; we went for it and it is delicious! Great flavors! Thanks, Sarah! Made for ZWT4 Zingo.

    This will be replacing my usual meatloaf recipe! It was pretty easy to put together, I had all of the ingredients on hand and it was very good! I turned off the oven for the last 10 minutes and just let it sit in the oven while I was setting the table for dinner. The topping was able to set. Thanks for the recipe! Made for ZWT4 - Chic Chefs.
