Bobotie is a South African casserole, which we made with some healthier edits.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Basmati rice
- 1/2 cup yellow raisins
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- Olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 lb ground turkey (lean)
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 3/4 tsp cumin
- 1⁄2 tsp ground cloves
- 1⁄4 tsp cardamom
- Salt and pepper
- 1 slice bread
- 2/3 cup milk or soy/almond/rice milk
- 1/4 cup Egg Beaters
- 3 bay leaves
- Mango chutney
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Prepare 1 cup of rice according to standard rice preparation directions.
- While rice is cooking, chop the onion and garlic and sauté in olive oil over medium high heat for 5 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey and allow to brown. While the meat is cooking, add curry, turmeric, cumin, cloves, cardamom, salt and pepper. Cook until the meat is almost cooked through.
- Place cooked rice in the bottom of a covered casserole dish and mix with raisins and almonds (the casserole dish should be about half full).
- Soak the slice of bread in the milk, then mash to form a paste.
- Mix the bread and milk mixture with the turkey mixture, and then spread the turkey over the top of the rice in the casserole dish.
- Pour the egg evenly on top of the turkey. Place three bay leaves on top.
- Bake covered for 35 min, and then uncovered for 10 additional minutes.
- Remove the bay leaves and serve with mango chutney.

- Add the dressing to the slaw and toss well.
