For the bobotie sauce:
¾ cup (100g) cake flour
2 Tbsp canola oil
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 Tbsp curry powder
1 bay leaf
2 Tbsp chutney
¾ cup (70 g) raisins
1 cup cream

Method
Serve the bowl by placing a spoonful of this delightful recipe of the day. It blends bobotie pork with mango rice and the zing of tomato atchar salsa. Finish with fresh coriander for garnish.
Preheat the oven to 160 °C.
Season the pork loin generously with salt and pepper, then toss with the flour.
Heat the oil in a pot on the stove top over high heat. Once hot, sear the pork quickly, turning often to ensure even colour on all sides.
Remove the pork from the pan, place it on a roasting tray, and finish cooking it in the oven for about 25 minutes. Ensure it’s cooked through. Once cooked, set aside to rest.
Turn the heat to low, add the onion and garlic to the pan in which the pork was cooked. Sauté until soft.
Add the curry powder and bay leaf, and sauté for a further minute. Add the chutney, raisins and cream, and bring to the boil.
Slice the pork and add it to the sauce.
Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
Mix the mango, red onion, coriander, sugar snap peas and cooked rice together.
In another bowl, mix the tomatoes, cucumber, and atchar together. This side dish complements the day’s recipe of bobotie pork with mango rice perfectly.
