This is from *Microwave Cooking* by Lorna Rhodes. This Bobotie recipe is a not-as-highly-spiced microwave version that uses beef instead. I'll prob opt to spice it up a bit & use lamb again, so feel free to do the same. (Time does not include 5 min standing time) *Enjoy* . Ingredients:
1 ounce butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 onions (chopped) |
1 garlic clove (crushed, more as desired) |
3 teaspoons curry powder |
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (lean) |
2 ounces sultanas |
1 tablespoon chutney (more as desired) |
1 ounce fresh breadcrumb |
2 eggs |
salt and pepper (to taste) |
5 ounces milk |
1 ounce sliced almonds (toasted is preferred) |
3 bay leaves |
Directions:
1. Place butter & oil in a lrg bowl & microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. Add onions + garlic, cover & cook for 2 minutes. Stir in curry powder & cook for 2 minutes.
2. Mix in the grd beef & cook on HIGH for 5 minutes. Add sultanas, chutney, breadcrumbs, 1 egg, salt & pepper. Mix well & turn into a microwave serving dish.
3. Beat remaining egg in the milk, pour over the meat & sprinkle w/almonds. Place the bay leaves on top & cook on HIGH for 15 minutes. Leave to stand (covered) for 5 minutes, remove bay leaves & serve immediately.
4. NOTE: After the meat is cooked in Step #2 of the prep, I will opt to transfer the cooked meat to the microwave serving dish w/a slotted spoon, allow the accumulated meat drippings & rendered fat to rest & then skim the fat from them so I can add the spiced juices to the meat mixture for the final cooking stage.
