Bobotie

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2006
The recipe is fine, as long as it's kept in mind that, as a trad. dish, there are hundreds of small variations. I use apricot jam instead of chutney, but a fruity, quite sweet chutney is fine. One reviewer was wrong when she said the meat and onions are always fried in a pan first. No, this should be a quick dish (once you have the ingredients) and I certainly have never fried the meat first. One person altered the recipe so much that it could not bear much resemlance to the original! I understand about the milk allergy, but why leave out the breadcrumbs? It improves the texture. Try soy milk next time, or yoghurt, if that's okay. The egg-milk-turmeric custard should be poured over the top about 20 mins. before it comes out of the oven, and is a "characteristic" of this comfort food.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Gravy

Reviewed: May 29, 2004
I changed this recipe before I made it. The lack of seasoning bothered me. The chicken can do with liberal use of thyme or similar, and needs perhaps help from a good seasoning salt instead of ordinary salt. The recipe for the gravy also bothers me a bit: I'll add Kikkoman soy sauce and maybe a good dash of Worcestershire sauce. Also, I'd prefer to oven-bake it.

Buttermilk Potato Fried Chicken

Reviewed: May 29, 2004
The recipe is somewhat bland. I'd suggest adding pepper sauce (Tabasco, etc) to the buttermilk. Also, to make it quicker (and unfortunately change Kathy's recipe somewhat!) is to mix cornmeal with crushed potato crisps. Because they are salty, not extra salt might be needed. Try a cheese-and-onion flavour. AND: don't fry. Pack in an oven dish and bake, drizzled with a little olive oil. This way the covering won't come off either.
