2 tart apples, peeled and diced

15ml curry powder

2 cloves garlic, crushed

5ml each turmeric, ground cinnamon and cumin

750g boneless beef chuck, cubed

7ml salt

50ml mild chutney

25ml brown vinegar

15ml brown sugar

200ml tomato puree

250ml water

2 bay leaves

125ml coconut

100ml sultanas

Cream (optional)

Method

Heat butter and oil and fry onions and apples. Add curry powder, garlic, spices and beef. When browned, turn off the heat and stir in remaining ingredients, except sultanas. Spoon into a large baking dish and bake, covered, at 160ºC for 1 hour 30 minutes. Add more water and stock if necessary, and the sultanas. Cover and bake for 30 minutes longer or until very tender. If using, swirl in cream just before serving.

Frosted Meat Loaf

It's difficult to give a meat loaf airs, but the potato 'frosting' and a homemade gravy add to the appearance and flavour of this one.

Ingredients

125ml milk

1 egg

125ml quick-cooking oats

25ml oil

2 onions, chopped

500g minced beef

15ml Worcester sauce

25ml tomato sauce

50ml chopped parsley

1 medium-sized carrot, coarsely grated

5ml salt

5ml mixed dried herbs

FROSTING

6 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed

±100ml hot milk

25ml butter

1 egg yolk

Salt and pepper

Method

Beat milk with egg, add oats and leave to soak for 10 minutes. Heat oil and fry onions until lightly browned. Mix remaining ingredients, then add fried onion and milk mixture. Combine thoroughly and pack firmly into an oiled 25 x 8 x 7cm loaf tin. Bake at 180ºC for 1 hour. Stand for about 10 minutes or until juices are re-absorbed, then unmould onto flat, warmed serving dish.
Beat mashed potato with hot milk, butter and egg yolk until fluffy and creamy. Seasno, then swirl over the entire loaf, top and sides, and return to the oven at the same temperature for 15-20 minutes. Serve with a green vegetable and pumpkin baked in the oven at the same time. Serves 6.
