Gluten Free Bobotie is a flavorful South African Dish that pairs well with fruit chutney! So many spices and it's delicious! What is Bobotie????? Bobotie is a South African meatloaf that is filled with delicious spices and topped with an awesome Fruit Chutney! I linked the recipe to my fruit chutney so it would be easy to find. We had this dish when we were sailing in Saint Martin with Trade-winds. Manu, our first mate made this delicious dish for lunch one day and I asked her how to make it. So, this is my version of how she made it. Thank you, Manu for the exposure to this dish and new food! Here’s A Video to Show You How to Make Bobotie: What Kind Of Meat Can I Use In Bobotie? I have read online that it can be made from beef, pork or lamb or a combination of those meats. I made mine out of beef, but I think we would have loved it with lamb. However, our guests don’t love lamb as much as we do so I made it with beef. I absolutely love the smell of lamb cooking and can picture the scent in my head with all of the spices and chutney added! Next time I am making it with lamb for sure! What Do I Need To Make This Recipe? You will need a 9 x 13 Pyrex rectangle baking dish to make this Bobotie. Also some fragrant spices and herbs. Here’s the list: 4 pieces of gluten free bread 3 lbs of ground beef 2 yellow onions 1 TBSP butter 4 cloves of garlic 4 TBSP Curry Paste 1 Cup Chutney 1/4 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes or more if you like it spicy. 4 Bay Leaves 1 TSP of the following: Allspice, Cumin, Paprika, Smoked Paprika, Curry, Tumeric, 21 herb seasoning, Ginger, Cloves, Nutmeg (I used Pumpkin Pie Spice) 2 eggs 1 Cup Cream This recipe goes together very quickly and is an easy meal.

This gluten free fruit chutney is so diverse and delicious! It is fantastic paired with Chicken, Lamb or Beef! It is also delicious with oatmeal or ice cream! What is Chutney? Chutney is a spicy fruit spread that originated in Indian cooking according to Wikipedia. It’s not really a word that we use very often in American Cooking. I have had fruit chutney a few times in my life but it has been when we were traveling. I had a delicious stone fruit chutney with roasted chicken in England. This fruit chutney was similar to what we had in Saint Martin when we were sailing. Our chef made us Bobotie. Bobotie is a South African dish of minced meats that are baked with an egg custard topping. It reminds me of a Spiced meatloaf. Spiced meaning filled with turmeric, cumin, curry, allspice, paprika, and more. It has a beautiful yellow color from all of the delicious spices. Why did I need Chutney for Bobotie? I made the chutney because it was an ingredient and common topping for the Bobotie. You can also eat the chutney on other meats, not just Bobotie. It would be delicious on roasted chicken or pork. I tried to find chutney in our grocery stores but was unsuccessful so I made my own. I have seen it in other countries in the store, but I guess it’s not a popular item in AZ! What do I need to make fruit Chutney? Here are the items I used to make my Chutney. I originally sought out to make mango chutney, but I didn’t have any frozen mangoes and I didn’t want to go out to the store. It was pouring rain so I improvised. It was just as delicious! 1/2 Jar Apricot Jam (I use the kind with real sugar and fruit) 1/2 Jar Orange Marmalade (same kind as above) 1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar 1 pkg dried mangoes- I rehydrated them in warm water for about 10 minutes then chopped them up. 1 cup Golden Raisins 1/4 Cup Dried Sweetened Ginger Chopped 1 Garlic Clove 1/4-1/2 tsp Red Pepper flakes or more if you want it really spicy. 1 yellow onion chopped 1/4 Cup Dried Tart Cherries Juice of 2 Oranges as well as the peel of one. Frozen Peaches chopped 1 cup Frozen Apricots chopped 1 cup 1 Green Apple Chopped 1 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix- more to taste. A Pinch of Salt. I started out sauteing the onions and garlic in a pan with a little olive oil. I wanted them to get nice and soft. Next, I added the other ingredients and stirred it all together. I let it cook for about 20 minutes and it became delicious and sticky like a very fruity thick jam. Yum! I was tempted to eat it now because it smelled so delicious. What Do I do with this Fruit Chutney? You have some options for storage of this delicious chutney. If you want it to last for a long time or make a larger batch of it, you can always can it. I stored mine in the fridge in a sealed jar. I served it with the Bobotie that will require a cup of it in the recipe. So reserve a cup of you want to make the Bobotie. It pairs wonderfully with roasted meat like pork, chicken, lamb, and beef. You can also add it to your oatmeal in the morning for a fall-like flavor. Serve it over ice cream for a delicious topping. There are so many options. Here’s The Printable Recipe!

Hope you enjoy this fruit chutney! As Always, Best Wishes for Gluten Free Dishes! XO, Michelle These easy gluten free tuna melts remind me of my Mom. She would make these and I wanted to recreate them gluten free! This easy tuna melt is a great idea for a quick meal. I love them when we are on the go and need something quick for lunch or dinner. Or if we are having a lazy movie day and don’t fell like cooking something fancy. What are your quick meals for busy days or lazy days?I have an arsenal of quick meals in my back pocket for days just like this one. It is raining and cold here in usually sunny AZ. We have had more rainy days this winter/spring than I can remember in over 20 years of living here! The clouds and cool weather make me want to snuggle up on the couch with a good book or a good movie. I wish it was the weekend so my hubby could be in that equation but it’s not so my furry friend will have to fill in. She loves to snuggle so is a great substitute! Here are some other quick meals you might like if you like my easy tuna melt: Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps BLT Sandwich Skewers Honey Garlic Thighs made in the crockpot Did You Grow Up Eating Tuna Melts? Easy tuna melts were my Mom’s OG recipe. OG (original gangster) makes me laugh especially when referred to my Mom since she wasn’t really a gangster at all! But she was an OG about cooking. I learned to cook a lot of things from my Mom and my love for feeding people and making homemade food definitely came from her. I can still remember her making homemade buns on cool days. They were so delicious! Now, I wouldn’t be able to eat any of the items pictured! Looking back I probably shouldn’t have been eating them then, but we didn’t know.
Melty open faced sandwiches were a favorite around our house. My Mom liked to buy salmon with the bones in it and it would crunch when you ate it…barf.. but I much preferred the tuna. No bones and the only crunch was from whatever you added to the tuna. Here’s What I Put in Our Easy Tuna Melts: To make this masterpiece of an easy meal, you will need the following ingredients: Gluten free Break- I used Canyon Gluten Free Bakehouse Mayo- I used Sir Kensington’s Tuna- I used albacore from Costco- the wild caught stuff that is supposed to be better for fish and sustainability. Celery Red Pepper Tomato Green onions Organic Sharp Cheddah- same as cheddar just better S & P or any other seasonings you like
