South African Cuisine: Bobotie

I'm been craving South African food for a long time and having unsuccessfully searched high and low in London for a place to get my fix I had to resort to my own natural talents.

Bobotie is a dish from the Cape and it is essentially spiced mince with a custard topping.

You will need:
1 thick slice of white bread (crusts removed)
250ml milk
1 finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped garlic clove
750g of mince (doesn't matter what variety but Quorn mince absorbs the custard)
2 tbsp curry powder (as mild or spicy as you like)
2 tbsp of vinegar
2 tbsp of chopped almonds
2 tbsp of chutney (I used Gratton & Oldridge's Spicy Tomato chutney as it's very, very nice. See: http://www.grattonandoldridge.co.uk/)
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground pepper
3 eggs

Soak the bread in the milk and then squeeze dry. Combine the squeezed bread with the mince, onion, garlic, curry powder, vinegar, almonds, chutney, ginger, turmeric and pepper and mix well.

Lightly brown the mince mix in a pan before transferring to a casserole dish.

Beat the eggs and milk together and pour over the mince.

Bake in an oven at 180 degrees Celsius for ~50 minutes. Serve with rice

Please excuse me for interchanging imperial and metric measures, tablespoons are much easier to measure than 17.75 ml
