Individual Beef Bobotie Pie
Flavour Notes

Bobotie lives and dies on balance — the raisins and jam should be felt, never tasted as sweet, and the curry powder needs to be a warm hum rather than a headline. A bay leaf pressed into the top before the pastry goes on is a nod to tradition even though you'll never see it. Reheats beautifully.

Heating Instructions

All meals are fully cooked and delivered refrigerated. Keep refrigerated (consume within 4 days) or freeze immediately for up to 6 weeks. For best results, defrost overnight in the fridge — frozen-direct timings are a fallback, not the target.

Reheat to 75°C / 167°F internal temperature — a knife-tip held 2 seconds against the centre should feel hot, not warm. Always rest 2–5 minutes after reheating so the centre fully evens out. Reheat once only; never re-reheat leftovers.

Prepared in a kitchen that also handles gluten, tree nuts, dairy and soy — see the allergens list for dish-specific information.

Heat gently until piping hot throughout. Times are a guide — check the centre before serving.

Temperature
170°C
  1. Bake at 170°C for 15–18 minutes until the custard is set and the centre is hot through. Rest 3 minutes.
  1. Loosely foil-cover and bake at 160°C for 30–35 minutes until piping hot. Rest 5 minutes.
Temperature
160°C
  1. 160°C for 10–12 minutes — watch the custard and stop the moment it bubbles at the edge.
  1. 150°C for 22 minutes (no hot finish — protect the custard).

The Story

Spiced beef mince with raisins, onion, bread-soaked milk, turmeric, and a hint of apricot jam — the traditional Cape Malay bobotie, nestled under a buttery shortcrust lid and baked golden. The national dish, handheld.
