Add the bread into a dish and pour ½ a cup of Amarula Original Cream Liqueur over the bread. Set the bread aside to absorb, about 5 minutes.
Place a medium-sized oiled pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, beef mince, curry powder, salt and pepper. Sauté for 5-6 minutes or until the mince has browned. *Chef’s tip: Add hot curry powder to make a spicier bobotie.
Squeeze the Amarula out of the soaked bread before adding the bread to the pan along with the fruit chutney. Mix until well incorporated before turning off the heat. Set aside the soaking Amarula. *Chef’s tip: Sultanas can be added here.
Spoon the mince mixture into the base of the dish and flatten using the back of the spoon.
For the custard:
Add an extra ½ cup of Amarula, yoghurt, and egg to the remaining Amarula after soaking the bread. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the custard over the mince before arranging the bay leaves onto the custard and baking for 35-40 minutes or until the custard has set and turned lightly golden brown. Once cooked, allow to cool slightly before slicing.
Serve a portion of the bobotie alongside more fruit chutney, rice, and a salad.
In a large bowl, toss cucumber, onion, tomatoes, and olives. Gently fold in feta.
In a small bowl, whisk vinegar, lemon juice, and oregano until combined; season with salt and pepper. Slowly stream in oil, whisking until dressing is smooth and emulsified.
Drizzle dressing over salad and toss again to combine.
