  6. Just a minor point, real babotie is usually made with mutton (minced), but I have seen variances where they mix in a little beef mince to add to the flavors.

    Also, you normally add some dried fruit in with the meat. Some dried apricots and raisins, chopped, do wonders for this very traditional meal.

    It is a very tasty dish and when ever I serve babotie here in the states I get rave reviews. It is a very distinctive meal.
