Cooking Instructions

  1. Hollow the inside of the cabbage out and chop finely. Keep the cabbage bowl/s and use as containers to bake bobotie in. It needs to fit into a deep bowl the shape of the cabbage. If you do not use the cabbage as a container omit 1 egg.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180°C. 
  3. Brown the onions and garlic in a pan with butter, add the apples and cook a little bit more. 
  4. Soak the bread in milk and squeeze the milk out, reserve the milk. Mash the breads. 
  5. Combine all the spices, lemon juice, raisins and chutney and add to onion mixture. Add bread and combine. 
  6. Pack fish into cabbage with layering of fish and onion mix. 
  7. Whisk together the remaining milk and eggs and add seasoning to taste. 
  8. Pour half the mixture over and bake for 20 mins. Place a sheet of foil loosely on top of the baking dish to prevent the cabbage leaves from burning too much. 
  9. Remove and pour the remaining milk and bake for 20 mins. Place the foil back over if necessary. 
  10. Remove from the oven when cooked through. Cool down slightly and carefully remove from baking dish. 
  11. To make the chutney, simmer 2 Granny Smith apples, 50g raisins, 1 onion, 1 clove garlic, 250ml white balsamic vinegar, 180ml sugar, 10ml salt, 15ml ground coriander, 2 star anise, 5ml ground ginger and 1ml cayenne pepper, over low heat until the apples are soft and the mixture is thick. Serve warm or cooled.
