About Bobotie

Bobotie is a traditional South African dish with origins tracing back to Cape Malay cuisine. It features a savory meat filling, often ground beef or lamb, flavored with curry spices, garlic, and onions, then blended with dried fruits like raisins and apricots for a hint of sweetness. The dish is topped with a creamy egg-and-milk custard that bakes to a golden finish. Typically served with yellow rice and chutney, Bobotie offers a rich combination of flavors. While protein-rich from the meat and eggs, it can be high in saturated fats depending on the choice of meat and dairy. The addition of fruits provides natural sugars and some fiber, but the dish can also contain added sugars in certain recipes. Bobotie is a hearty comfort food best enjoyed in moderation, with opportunities to adapt ingredients for a lighter version.
