BOBOTIE
The South African national dish, bobotie, is a meat pie of coarsely ground lamb with plenty of curry, bay or lemon leaves and fruits, covered with a custard of milk and eggs, as homey and much loved as meatloaf is in the United States.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the bread and milk in a small bowl, and let the bread soak for 10 minutes.
- In a heavy saucepan melt the butter and the oil; then, stir in the onions and cook slowly until they are soft and translucent.
- Add the curry, sugar, salt and pepper, and stir for about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the lamb, and saute until well browned. Add the lemon juice, bring the mixture to a boil and remove from heat.
- Drain the bread, and squeeze to dry it completely, reserving the drained milk.
- Add the bread, one of the eggs, the apple, raisins and almonds to the lamb. Beat the mixture with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are well blended. Taste for seasoning.
- Pack the mixture loosely into an ovenproof baking dish, and tuck the bay leaves underneath.
- Whisk the remaining eggs with the reserved milk until it becomes frothy. Pour this mixture evenly over the meat, and bake in the middle rack of the oven for 30 minutes, until the surface has browned and is firm.
- Serve directly from the pan.
