Bobotie (Easy Microwave Fix) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 ounce butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 onions (chopped)
1 garlic clove (crushed, more as desired)
3 teaspoons curry powder
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (lean)
2 ounces sultanas
1 tablespoon chutney (more as desired)
1 ounce fresh breadcrumb
2 eggs
salt and pepper (to taste)
5 ounces milk
1 ounce sliced almonds (toasted is preferred)
3 bay leaves

Preparation

Place butter & oil in a lrg bowl & microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. Add onions + garlic, cover & cook for 2 minutes. Stir in curry powder & cook for 2 minutes.
Mix in the grd beef & cook on HIGH for 5 minutes. Add sultanas, chutney, breadcrumbs, 1 egg, salt & pepper. Mix well & turn into a microwave serving dish.
Beat remaining egg in the milk, pour over the meat & sprinkle w/almonds. Place the bay leaves on top & cook on HIGH for 15 minutes. Leave to stand (covered) for 5 minutes, remove bay leaves & serve immediately.
NOTE: After the meat is cooked in Step #2 of the prep, I will opt to transfer the cooked meat to the microwave serving dish w/a slotted spoon, allow the accumulated meat drippings & rendered fat to rest & then skim the fat from them so I can add the spiced juices to the meat mixture for the final cooking stage.
