How to Make Bobotie Bowls

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
  4. Add the bay leaf, celery, carrot, onion, peppers, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  5. Stir in raisins, chutney, broth, curry paste, turmeric, coriander, and lemon zest. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the liquid has reduced.
  6. Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the toasted almonds.
  7. While the meat simmers, prepare the omelets: In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and half-and-half.
  8. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pat of butter. Pour 1/6 of the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until set, about 1-2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining egg mixture to make 6 mini omelets.
  9. Spoon the meat mixture into bowls. Top each bowl with a mini omelet.
  10. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
