Bobotie
Pronounced ba-boor-tea, this much-loved South African dish is a delicious mixture of curried meat and fruit with a creamy golden topping, not dissimilar to moussaka
Put the apricots in a bowl and pour over 600ml boiling water.
Leave for 30 mins to soak and cool.
Tip the apricots and their soaking liquid into a food processor with all the remaining ingredients, then blitz until smooth. Tip into a saucepan, then cover and simmer for 20-25 mins until thick and pulpy.
