This is the recipe the lady wanted for the "meatloaf" with
the custard top. It is called Bobotie and they consider it
a "casserole" that is why you couldn't find it.

Bobotie
(Beef Pie)
2 ounces butter
1 cup onions, thinly sliced
1 apple, peeled, diced
2 pounds chopped cooked beef
2 bread slices soaked in milk
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 cup raisins
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
6 bay leaves
1 egg
1/2 cup whole milk
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onions and sauté for
5 minutes, then add the apple dice and cook for another minute.
Add the chopped beef and combine. Squeeze out the excess milk
from the bread slices, then tear up and add to pot. Add the
curry powder, raisins, almonds, lemon juice, egg, and turmeric,
and stir well.
Place mixture in a greased 9 x 13" baking dish. Place bay leaves
vertically in the casserole. Bake at 325 degrees F for 40 minutes,
then remove from the oven. Mix together the egg and milk, then
pour it over the Bobotie. Bake for 15 more minutes. Remove bay
leaves before serving.
Dear Phaedrus
I came across the Sicilian recipe for Arancini (rice balls) I
thought you might like the Calabrian version. My grandfather
taught them to me 50 years ago.
3 lbs ground beef
2 Tbs. oregano and basil
1 Tsp. garlic
2 cans 6ozs tomato paste
4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
3 lbs long grain rice
12 eggs, beaten
1 bowl ice water
3 boxes Italian flavored bread crumbs
Brown ground beef and drain off fat. In a large mixing bowl,
mix the meat, oregano, basil, garlic and 1/2 the cheese. (As
always with Italian cooking taste as you go, adding ingredients
to your taste)
Cook rice as per directions on the bag. (NO INSTANT RICE) once
rice is cooked add 1/4 beaten eggs to hot rice along with oregano
and basil to taste. Mix thoroughly then add cheese to your taste,
again mixing thoroughly.
Once completed, dip hands in ice water. Then spoon 2 tbs hot rice
mixture in hand (making 1/2 a snowball) add two tbs. meat mixture.
Top with more rice for a completed ball.
Next gently roll ice ball through beaten egg, then coat with
breadcrumbs .
Next brown in a deep fryer (My grandfather used a large pot of oil
on the stove).
I hope I’ve explained this, since it’s hard to write in down instead
of telling how to do it.
You’ve helped me with so many of my questions; I wanted to share
something with you.
