3. Bobotie with @southafricanfruit Plum Twist 😋

   Bobotie is proudly, a South African traditional dish that has been on my list for quite a while (I really like the name!!). Now with South African 🇿🇦 stone fruit in season, I decided to put my OWN spin on it with a plum-y twist.  It is SERIOUSLY beyond delicious! 🤤

   In the UK, South African plums are available from January to May, filling a seasonal gap when other European varieties are not in season. South Africa takes pride in its world-class agronomy, adhering to exceptional ethical and sustainable farming practices. Notably, most fruit from South Africa are shipped, not flown, contributing significantly to reducing the industry’s carbon footprint. *Makes you feel even better eating it, don’t you think? 🤩

   Recipe
   Ingredients:

   • 2 South African plums
   • 2 slices white bread (crustless)
   • 300ml milk
   • 1 tbsp olive oil
   • 1 tbsp butter
   • 1 onion, chopped
   • 3 bay leaves
   • 1 tsp turmeric
   • 2 tsp curry powder
   • 1 tsp oregano
   • 1 tsp cumin
   • 1/3 tsp ground cloves
   • Salt to taste
   • Pepper to taste
   • 1 tsp ginger paste
   • 2 garlic cloves, minced
   • 600g minced beef
   • 150g tomato puree
   • 1 tbsp fruit chutney
   • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
   • 2 eggs
   • Bay leaves for garnish

   Method:

   1. Halve the plums, discard the pits, slice and dice. Set aside.
   2. Soak the bread in milk and preheat the oven to 190°C.
   3. Heat the oil and butter in a large pan, add onions, and cook until softened.
   4. Add bay leaves, all spices, and mix well. Then, add garlic and ginger, cook for 2 minutes, and incorporate minced beef. Mix well and add drained bread, tomato puree, chutney, plums, and Worcestershire sauce. Ensure a thorough mix and cook until the mince is fully cooked, and no liquid remains in the pan.
   5. Once ready, transfer the meat to a baking dish. Whisk the eggs into the remaining milk, and pour the mixture over the mince.
   6. Garnish with bay leaves and bake for approximately 35 minutes or until set and nicely browned.
   7. Serve Bobotie with yellow rice and enjoy!
