Bobotie is a South African dish consisting of spiced minced meat baked with an egg-based topping.〔 It is a famous dish of South Africa. It is thought to have originated from the Indonesian dish ''bobotok'', which consisted of meat with a custard topping that was cooked in a pan of water until the egg mixture set.〔Smit, S., and Fulton, M. (1983) The South African Encyclopedia of Food and Cookery. Cape Town; C Struik.〕 Colonists from the Dutch East India Company colonies in Batavia probably introduced bobotie to South Africa. The first recipe for bobotie appeared in a Dutch cookbook in 1609.〔 Afterwards, it was taken to South Africa and adopted by the Cape Malay community.〔("Bobotie" - Times Live )〕 It is also made with curry powder leaving it with a slight "tang".〔("Bobotie Is South African Favorite" - The Hartford Courant )〕 It is often served with Sambal.〔("Sampling South Africa Cooks Meld Far Flung Cuisines to Create a Flavor for a Nation" - Richmond Times )〕 The dish has been known in the Cape of Good Hope since the 17th century, when it was made with a mixture of mutton and pork.〔("Bobotie, South Africa's Indigenous Cuisine" - New York Times )〕 Today it is much more likely to be made with beef or lamb, although pork lends the dish extra moisture. Early recipes incorporated ginger, marjoram and lemon rind; the introduction of curry powder has simplified the recipe somewhat but the basic concept remains the same. Some recipes also call for chopped onions to be added to the mixture. Traditionally, bobotie incorporates dried fruit like raisins or sultanas. It is often garnished with walnuts, chutney and bananas.〔("Bobotie, a local and international winner" - Independent Online )〕 Although not particularly spicy, the dish incorporates a variety of flavours that can add complexity. For example, the dried fruit (usually apricots and raisins/sultanas) contrasts the curry flavouring. The texture of the dish is also complex, with the baked egg mixture topping complementing the milk-soaked bread which adds moisture to the dish. ==In other parts of Africa== The Bobotie recipe was transported by South African settlers to colonies all over Africa. Today, recipes for it can be found that originated in white settler communities in Kenya, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia. There is a variation that was popular among the 7,000 Boer settlers who settled in the Chubut River Valley in Argentina in the early 20th century, in which the bobotie mixture is packed inside a large pumpkin, which is then baked until tender. A dish in a Bobotie style has been made with haggis in Scotland, but this is not true bobotie. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bobotie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
