Bobotie, a national dish of South Africa, is made by combining spiced ground beef with dried fruit, topping it with an egg-and-milk mixture, and baking it. Its sweet-savory balance is served with rice.
Cook the onion over medium heat until softened. Add the ground beef and cook for another 10 minutes, until it changes color.
Add the soaked, crumbled bread, raisins, curry powder, vinegar, jam, and salt; stir, then cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
Transfer the beef mixture to a greased baking dish and smooth the surface.
Whisk the milk and eggs together, then slowly pour over the beef. Arrange the bay leaves on top.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C / 355°F for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is set and golden.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat covered in a 150°C / 300°F oven to keep the topping from drying out.
