Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant: Ethnic and Regional Recipes from the Cooks at the Legendary Restaurant (Cookery)

By Moosewood Collective
Fireside - 1990

Bobotie is a curried ground meat casserole with a custard top that is national dish of South Africa. This recipe uses tofu that has been frozen as a meat substitute, a technique I also use in making chili. I think it works quite well.

The resulting dish is quite tasty, but I felt that it needed some heat to match the curry flavours. I added a tablespoon of Sambal Brandal, and Indonesian chili paste, and that helped. Next time I might use more.

I also want to find out why pictures of bobotie always show the custard on top. When I pured the milk/egg mixture on top, it immedisate seeped into the tofu/onion mixture, and that is where it stayed and set.
