Last night was one for the history books 🍷✨
We made Bobotie and South African yellow rice from a cookbook I purchased in South Africa, bringing a little piece of the Cape to our table for the Southern Alberta Pioneers & Their Descendants wine tasting 🌍🫖
As a proud board director and member, it was such a joy to help pour wine, connect with guests, and celebrate an evening filled with beautiful food and stories. The event was a smashing success - featuring wines and flavours from South Africa, France, and Portugal 🇿🇦🇫🇷🇵🇹🍷
What I cherish most are the people. The laughter. The shared appreciation for Calgary’s history and the stories that built this city. There’s something incredibly special about gathering with fellow members who care so deeply about preserving and honouring our heritage 🤍
Grateful for community. Grateful for history. And always grateful for a table that brings us together. ✨
BOBOTIE
The dish we know today as bobotie was popular in Europe in the Middle Ages, after the Crusaders introduced turmeric from the East. Bobotie was traditionally made with meat left over from the Sunday roast.
Ingredients
1 slice white bread
250 ml milk
1 kg lean minced beef or mutton
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
125 ml seedless raisins
125 ml blanched almonds
15 ml smooth apricot jam
15 ml fruit chutney
25 ml lemon juice
5 ml chopped fresh mixed herbs
10 ml curry powder
5 ml turmeric
10 ml salt
10 ml sunflower oil
3 large eggs
4 bay or lemon leaves
Method
Soak the bread in 125 ml milk, then squeeze it dry and reserve the milk. Mix the bread with the minced beef or mutton. Mix in all the other ingredients, except the remaining reserved milk, the oil, eggs and bay or lemon leaves. Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the meat mixture lightly. Turn it out into a casserole.
Beat the eggs with the remaining reserved milk and pour the mixture over the meat.
Garnish the top of the mixture with the bay or lemon leaves and bake at 180°C for approximately 50 minutes, or until set.
Serve with Yellow Rice with Raisins.
Serves 6–8.
