Bobotie, a South African favorite, contains milk, eggs and beef. Here is a plant-based version using coconut milk and Beyond Meat Beef. The Beyond Beef has a great, meaty texture and is a tasty addition for occasional use, especially when adapting to a plant-based diet. Don’t skip wrapping it all up in lettuce leaves and topping with almonds because it really finishes the dish.
