Over the years, it has evolved into a unique and beloved South African dish.
Set the prepared peppers aside while you prepare the bobotie filling.
In a skillet, heat a splash of oil and saute finely chopped onions until they become translucent.
Sprinkle in a teaspoon of turmeric, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
While the bobotie filling is simmering, preheat your oven to 375F (190C).
Once the filling is ready, spoon it into the prepared bell peppers, filling them generously.
As the stuffed peppers bake, prepare a creamy and rich egg custard mixture.
Give them a try and savor the fusion of flavors that South African cuisine has to offer.
