This curried beef casserole hails from South Africa and is often served at Kwanzaa celebrations that commemorate Afro-Canadian history.

Ingredients

2 tbsp (30 mL) butter

2 lbs (1 kg) lean ground beef

1 onion, peeled and chopped

1 bay leaf

1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt

2 cloves minced garlic

4 tsp (20 mL) curry paste

2 tsp (10 mL) finely grated lemon peel

3 tbsp (45 mL) fresh lemon juice

3/4 cups (175 mL) chopped dried apricots

1/2 cup (125 mL) blanched slivered almonds

5 eggs

1 cup (250 mL) milk

1 cup (250 mL) fresh bread crumbs

3/4 cups (175 mL) 35% cream

chutney

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325F (160C). Melt butter in a skillet set over medium heat. Add the beef, onion, bay leaf and salt. Cook, stirring often, for 7 minutes or until browned. Add the garlic, curry paste, lemon peel and lemon juice. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in apricots and almonds. Whisk 1 egg with the milk. Stir in bread crumbs and stir into meat mixture. Transfer to a well-greased 9- x 13-in (3L) baking dish. Whisk remaining eggs with cream and pour over top of meat mixture.
