BOBOTIE
Pronounced ba-boor-tea, the national dish of South Africa is a delicious mixture of curried meat and fruit with a creamy golden topping, not dissimilar to moussaka

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Pour cold water over the bread and set aside to soak.
- Meanwhile, fry the onions in the butter, stirring regularly for 10 mins until they are soft and starting to colour. Add the garlic and beef and stir well, crushing the mince into fine grains until it changes colour. Stir in the curry paste, herbs, spices, chutney, sultanas and 2 of the bay leaves with 1 tsp salt and plenty of ground black pepper.
- Cover and simmer for 10 mins. Squeeze the water from the bread, then beat into the meat mixture until well blended. Tip into an oval ovenproof dish (23 x 33cm and about 5-6cm deep). Press the mixture down well and smooth the top. You can make this and chill 1 day ahead.
- For the topping, beat the milk and eggs with seasoning, then pour over the meat. Top with the remaining bay leaves and bake for 35-40 mins until the topping is set and starting to turn golden.

BEST BOBOTIE
This South African original is similar to meatloaf, but so much better. A slightly sweet curry flavors ground beef with a milk and egg custard on top. It's delicious!

SOUTH AFRICAN BOBOTIE
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.

FRENCH STYLE PATE (EASY MICROWAVE FIX)
When we go to the U.S. ea yr & visit *SusieQusie* in Dallas, we always go to *Half Price Books* & I usually find a cookbook treasure on the clearance table. This yr it was a little jewel titled *Microwave Cooking* by Lorna Rhodes & it had some great recipes to help me (us) use our microwave to its full potential. I'm really into that now as it's fast, gives you an "extra oven" that doesn't heat up your kitchen & helps relieve the stress of entertaining. This is the 1st recipe from it I will enter & it combines the starter & salad courses or stands alone as a luncheon entrée if served as suggested. (This is fixed the day b4 intended use & time does not include chilling overnight) *Enjoy* !

Steps:
- Lay the bacon rashers flat on a cutting board & stretch w/the back of a knife. Use half of the bacon to line a 1 lb microwave safe loaf pan or terrine.
- Combine the chicken livers, grd pork & sausage meat in a bowl. Cover & cook on HIGH for 6 minutes or till the meats are fully cooked, stirring twice during cooking.
- Transfer mixture to a blender or food proc. Add the next 5 ingredients (garlic thru salt & pepper) & mix till smooth.
- Spoon the mixture into your prepared pan or terrine & cover w/the remaining bacon. Place 3 bay leaves on top, cover w/greaseproof paper & cook on HIGH for 4 minutes. Allow pate to cool. Cover w/foil, weight down & chill overnight.
- TO SERVE: Remove bay leaves, turn out onto a serving plate & slice. Serve w/French bread & a green salad.
- NOTE: While the recipe doesn't say to do this & I haven't made this dish, I will drain the cooked meat mixture of the rendered fat as the bacon will add flavor & moistness in the final cooking stage.
CINNAMON APPLESAUCE (EASY MICROWAVE RECIPE)
This is really easy and delicious applesauce. I left out the sugar completely and thought it was sweet enough. The recipe says that if you prefer a sweeter applesauce, choose red apples, such as Fuji or Gala, instead of adding more sugar. This recipe comes from the Everyday Food Magazine.

BOBOTIE
When it comes to homey, tasty comfort food, it doesn't get better than this. Bobotie is a South African classic similar to shepherd's pie--a casserole layered with sweet and spicy ground meat topped with an egg custard in lieu of the Western mashed potatoes. I like to use a meatball combo of beef, pork, and veal (1/3 of each), my own spice blend, and red currant jelly for a rich flavor. Oh, and making these in individual ramekins makes it easier to bake them off in a water bath, which gives a creamy, custardy texture to the egg topping (instead of a quiche-like one).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place bread in a bowl and cover with milk. Let sit until ready to use, turning if necessary to make sure the entire piece of bread is soaked.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and then the onions, chilies, and ginger with a bit of salt to draw out the moisture. Saute for 4 to 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent. Add in the garlic and spices and saute for another 30 seconds to a minute, until the garlic is fragrant. (If necessary, add a bit of water to slow the cooking down.)
- Increase the heat to medium-high and push the vegetables aside a bit. Combine the different ground meats if necessary and add the ground meat and brown for 3 to 4 minutes. You can add a drizzle of canola oil if your pan is looking very dry. You want to develop color and deepen the flavor of the ground meat. Using a wooden spoon or a spatula, break up the meat with the onions and spices to mix. Add the preserves, malt vinegar, and tomato and season with salt. Lower heat and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes for all of the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl using a slotted spoon and let cool briefly. Wring out excess milk from the bread and add to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly, breaking up the bread, and season if necessary. Fill 4 (10-ounce) ramekins 3/4 full with meat mixture and place ramekins in a roasting pan or baking dish.
- Combine eggs, heavy cream, and pinch of salt and pour to fill ramekins to the top.
- You want to bake these in a water bath, so fill the roasting pan or baking dish with boiling water until it comes at least halfway up the sides of the ramekins (see Cook's Notes).
- Cook at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until the custard is set. You want the custard to be supple, so don't overcook or it turns into an omelet topping. If it jiggles a bit in the center, that's fine. Just let it sit in the water bath once you've taken it out of the oven to firm up a bit.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve in the ramekins topped with chopped chives.
STILTON MUSHROOMS (EASY MICROWAVE FIX)
This is recipe #3 from *Microwave Cooking* by Lorna Rhodes & gets high marks from me because I love the primary ingredients & due to its versatility. It would make a great finger-food appy, starter course or tasty side when served w/beef or chicken. *Enjoy* !

BOBOTIE (EASY MICROWAVE FIX)
This is recipe #5 from *Microwave Cooking* by Lorna Rhodes. During ZWT last yr, I made Ev's excellent Recipe #62202 using lamb. 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* !

Steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
