I got this recipe out of the local Ottawa newspaper a couple of years ago. It was from a restaurant in town but I'm afraid I forget which one. Bobotie is a traditional South African dish made of minced lamb or beef mixed with bread, rice or mashed potatoes, onions, garlic and curry. Read more The ingredients are blended with an egg and milk mixture similar to quiche and then baked. This is a Vegetarian version and my son LOVES it! For a non-vegetarian version substitute ground lamb, beef or chicken for the crumbled tofu! See less
