Bobotie (South African Meatloaf)

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 onions, diced
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup golden raisins
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 2 tablespoons curry powder, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 4 bay leaves, or more to taste
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in melted butter until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

Combine 2 eggs, 1 cup milk, oats, raisins, almonds, vinegar, curry powder, sugar, salt, turmeric, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add onions and ground beef; mix well. Spread the beef evenly into the prepared baking dish; top with bay leaves.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and drain excess fat from the beef.

Beat 1 egg and 1/4 cup milk together in a bowl; pour over the beef mixture.

Continue baking in oven until the top is beginning to brown, about 30 minute more. Remove and discard bay leaves to serve.
