Bobotie with Yellow Rice - Geelrys | South African Comfort Food
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- It's probably fair to say that bobotie (pronounced ba-boor-tea) is the national dish of South Africa. Bobotie is a simple dish of mildly curried minced beef (or lamb) with a bit of fruit in it and a kind of egg custard topping. It sounds a bit weird to me, but bobotie is really tasy, and proper comfort food. Bobotie is usually served with Yellow Rice (in Afrikaans 'geelrys') and vegetables. I show you how to make yellow rice in this video, it's quite simple, and geelrys is the perfect accompaniment to bobotie.

"Wel gedaan"....well done!!
You have a South African sign of approval 👍
Another great video Keef! Crack the eggs how you like. Shame on those who complain. Also, Mrs. KeefCooks is as adorable as ever in this.
Yes South African comfort food.. soooo nice
I am South African, and I just followed your recipe to make my Bobotie. I must say, you did a great job. Love it. 👍👍👍
This is another of your dishes I will be trying out one day.
Thanks to my favourite couple on YT.
You literally said it pretty perfectly the first time you said it and you kinda lost your way 😂
I'm so happy you're making something from my country! Yay, thanks for showing us some love!
Other stuff South African food that's super delicious: koeksisters (a twisted doughnut thing fried in syrup), bunny chow (a curry in a half loaf of bread), rusks (twice baked biscuit that you dip in tea or coffee), melktert (which is a really yummy sweet milk tart) and my absolute favourite Pap n Vleis (translates to mielie meal and meat, it's so good.. the best ones usually involve braai meat. ..Oh this is getting complicated. A braai is like a barbecue over coals or sometimes wood. The food is always so good and you can get sousaties (type of kebab) and braaibroodjies (special type of sandwich thingy) there. You usually use a rub on the meat and serve with sauce and chakalaka with pap. Chakalaka is like a vegetable preserve that can be spicy or not. And I love tomato and onion sauce with the pap. But some people have chutney instead).
@Ampz14 - thanks for the suggestions. I have been toying with bunny chow, but wondering if it has a racist connotation?
@@Keefcooks Wow, I had to actually research this because I wasn't sure. It's just a common food to eat here and I was kinda aware of the situation it was born out of but not totally sure. It doesn't have a racist connotation as such, like it's not insulting to make it, but it does have a heritage born from colonialism and racism. So I know this would probably be a difficult thing to start a funny RUclips video with but you also can't ignore the heritage of the food either. It seems like it's a lot like the Soul food in America that was born out of slavery.
Accounts differ as to why it was invented but from what I can tell it was invented by S.A. Indian Cooks to feed the migrant workers (Indian and later Indonesian and Malaysian workers were shipped here as indentured workers during Britain's colonisation of S.A.- hence Cape Malay Curry and Samoosas as other delicious food in S.A.). Later during Apartheid it became a convenient way to serve Black workers who weren't allowed to sit in the same restaurants as Indians.
On the one hand it was born out of racism and suppression and it's a sad reminder that past traumas still affect generations and still are a part of our daily lives today. But on the other hand I think it's a testament to how humans will find a way to make the best of a situation, even an evil situation like Apartheid. Instead of not serving Black people, which is what those Apartheid assholes wanted - to discourage inter-mingling of different races, they sold them delicious curries in portable edible plates. And it's so good that it's still sold all throughout S.A. and eaten by everyone of all different races.
Wow, thank you for sharing these dishes! They sound delicious and I'm going to try some of them💐👍🏻😀
@@passionfruitfruit Yay!! Have fun ;)
@@ampz1466 Thank you!
She is so adorable 😊
I gotta make this!
Thank you for introducing me to bobotie. I'd like to try it, looks delicious!
I love babotie, but my Walsh husband hates it. Thank you for the recipe cos I haven't had babotie in YEARS. I'm definately going to make some.
Lovely looking dish Keefy! I'll have to look this up as i've never heard of it before, and it looks really good! Noelle looking radiant as ever!
Fascinating dish! Thanks, Keef.
Last time I had this dish I was on an overland tour from Vic Falls to Cape Town. It was served at a place called Hantam Huis in Calvinia in the northern cape, South Africa. The dish was made with a very robust mutton and was a bit overpowering I remember. Hantam Huis was a very strange place with dim lighting, dark green walls and weird manakins in bathtubs and beds and a cupboard full of dolls heads. It was like being in a horror movie. Thanks for bringing back this memory Keef, much appreciated.
MrsKeefCooks Hooray, I have never heard of this but it sure looks delicious, I will certainly be making and Thank you, Keef, :-)
Once again the most believable taster in the world has recommended your grub. My Pakistani next door neighbour put a few shells of Cardomen in her rice which may go down well here. They have left now unfortunately.
The custard topping makes me think of pastitsio, which I really enjoy.
Lovely.
Lekker video. Like Renee says, many of us always add the raisins to the rice not the main dish. Also, as far as the gravy bit goes, you left out one of the most vital additions to this meal. It MUST be served with Mrs Ball's Peach Chutney. I know that means more fruit but trust me 😉. (Other South African's will like this comment and agree with me).
Like before watch 👍
Did...Keef just make a Kate Bush reference? Awesome.
Well spotted!
@@Keefcooks Babushka happens to be one of my fave Kate songs, if only because it reminds me (in title) of my Russian Grandmother.
Hey there Keef, well done on your pronunciation.....
Nowt wrong I've been living here most of my life and still can't pronounce some of the Afrikaans words😝🤭🏴🇿🇦
Thanks!
Seems excellent. Well done, Keef! Will definitely have to try this out.
Another fabulous adventure and education, Id had Boboti in Joberg, not attempted to make it, TYVM. Keefie, re Rice in Garlic granules? I live in Rain Forest, used to add rice to herbs. Now I buy 1/2gram food safe silica packs for herbs & more. You'll find them online (eBay, Amazon, Alibaba, etc) just be sure they're "food safe" ....they're inexpensive & reusable ones may be available in your size? I use 1/2 gram for kitchen herbs, 2-5 gram for other foods & items, requiring desiccant add ins. Give up on the rice -check your desiccants & change approx yearly.
Great idea!
National dish, BRAAI...
yum yum cheers keefo keepin a stoned boi happy
apple, the texture is better and then its gluten free. Also the yellow rice (begrafnisrys) traditionally must have sultanas or raizens, not the bobotie. It is also served with tomato and onion salad, grated cucumber and vinegar salad and beetroot. I am South African and I speak Afrikaans, so I cook it often.
Mean, replace the bread and milk with grated apple
U can put raisins in both dish.. so goid😢 just saying👌❤️
I love that little ditty that you sang to the missus! Is it traditional to sing that while eating bobotie in the African Bush?
If Kate Bush ever tours South Africa, she might: ruclips.net/video/6xckBwPdo1c/видео.html
0:09 pronunciation is perfect.
who washes the pots
I too don't like fruit in savoury dishes. English curries in childhood put me off. They always had raisins/ sultanas in them. I was use to eating West Indian curries. ( Mum English, Dad Jamaican ) It's only lately that I'm starting to like the old school English curries. This recipe with a kind of custard doesn't instantly appeal to me, but I`ll give it a go. You never know. Thanks Keith.
Yeah, I think my first 'curry' was made by Vesta and it deffo had sultanas in it.
I think that would be an interesting dinner party food or pot luck supper and would eat that and like you be very surprised but I like fruit in savory thing esp curry carrot salad and the dreaded ham and pineapple pizza 🍕
Keef.. you should go on British bake off..
As the token old bloke who's voted off by episode 3 😀
Actually if anything were to be considered the south african national dish it would be the boerewors roll.
thumbs up for kate bush ref. keef cooks/mrs keef cooks are #relationshipgoals
The art of making the dish perfect is getting lost. some interesting changes. We add lots of Miss Ball chutney as we eat after its been made.
Interesting phrasing - I can't actually tell whether you think I stuffed it up completely, or it's an acceptable attempt. Obviously, I've never had it before so it's never going to be perfect. Also I don't think we can get Mrs Ball's Chutney here in sunny UK.
If you pronounce Bobotie in the accent of a South African Welsh Dutchman, you should be about there.
Accents aren't my strong point!
@@Keefcooks No worries Keef, your brilliant recipes speak for themselves.
What do the North Africans eat?
In north africa the food is not much different.
Also with dried fruit included in meat dishes.
Probably would be served with something like couscous though.
Just in case this is a serious question, otherwise you got me. ;-))
Glad there is someone else out there with the same sense of humour as me. Funny.
We are told by charities with highly paid executives that the children have nothing to eat. That is why we have to give them money andlet them scam us.
Algerian, Tunisian, Libyan, Moroccan and Egyptian food... 🙄
cream never
saffron is the thing for this rice.. its called traditional
Hey, I tried. Why don't you help me out and link to the perfect video that uses saffron but never cream? It's called constructive criticism.
sultanas should be banned
YOU CANT COOK THIS! THIS IS POLITICALLY INCORRECT! IT PROMOTES RACIAL INJUSTICE AND APARTHEID! (well at least there was a strong leading female character in the end.)
well, now that i had my mock social justice warrior outburst:
is it a rice soufflé or is a weird lasagna? a dessert with meat in it? all i know, had you just presented the recipe without the name and any infos, i'd have guessed its of african origin, because weirdly enough - the raisins. meat, rice and raisins, that is south african to me immediately, i do not know where i picked that up, but yeah. it clicked immediately.
good job with all the ingredients, keefy!
