What is Bobotie? Well, it is a South African dish consisting of spiced minced meat baked with an egg-based topping. And my Mum recently gave me a copy of an old recipe for Bobotie that she was given several years ago by a South African friend.

So I decided to make it without the egg topping and serve it with rice instead. It was quick and easy to make and a delicious alternative to chilli con carne.

Ingredients:
2 tbsp cooking oil
½ tbsp dairy-free spread
500 g mince meat (either lamb, beef or a combination of the two)
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup of grated carrot or apple
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp coriander
½ tsp ginger
½ tsp dried (or 1 tbsp fresh) mixed herbs
1 tsp turmeric
½ tsp cinnamon
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Method: 
1. Stir fry the mince in the oil and the dairy-free spread until loose and crumbly, using a fork.
2. Add the chopped onion and stir fry until cooked. Add the garlic, carrot or apple and all the spices. Continue to cook for 10 minutes on a low heat to allow the flavours to develop.
3. Serve with rice.
