Sebastiaan's South African Bobotie
Season 4 Episode 8 of 15
Sebastiaan's making a South African bobotie, which is a local dish his family have shared with him. He starts by putting chopped spring onions, grated courgette, turmeric powder, ground coriander and torn red pepper into a casserole dish and cooking them. He then adds garlic puree, ginger puree, chutney and chopped tomatoes to cooked beef mince. Sebastiaan then carefully makes powder out of his special ingredient, cumin seeds, and adds the powder to the beef mixture. Sebastiaan mixes both the vegetables and the beef in an oven dish and flattens them before adding two bay leaves. He adds a topping of milk and egg and then places it in the oven. Sebastiaan has a wonderfully decorated table, and he has another traditional treat to go with his bobotie. Will his friends figure out what his special ingredient is?
