VEGETARIAN EMA DATSHI (BHUTAN CHILI CHEESE STEW)



Vegetarian Ema Datshi (Bhutan Chili Cheese Stew) image

The national dish of Bhutan, this stew of hot peppers and cheese is extremely unique. It is usually made with a type of Bhutanese farmer's cheese, which can be approximated in the West by using queso fresco or feta cheese. If you can't handle super spicy food, try using poblanos or Anaheim peppers in place of the hot peppers. This version is different than the other recipe of the same name on this site. From Vegetarian Cooking and Recipes. The Kingdom of Bhutan, is a landlocked state in South Asia located at the eastern end of the Himalayas. It is bordered to the north by China and to the south, east and west by the Republic of India.

Time 25m

Yield 2-4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb hot green chili (jalapenos, serranos, Thai chilis, your choice depending on heat tolerance or use poblanos or anaheim)
1 medium sweet onion, diced small
3/4 cup water
1/2 lb danish feta cheese
2 teaspoons vegetable oil (I like olive oil)
2 tomatoes, diced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Remove seeds and ribs from chilis and cut chilis lengthwise into 1/2" slices.
  • Place chilis and onion in water with vegetable oil. Boil 10 minutes. Add tomato and garlic and simmer for 2 more minutes.
  • Add cheese and simmer on low for 2 more minutes - enough to blend the cheese without completely melting it. Add cilantro and stir.
  • Serve with Bhutanese red rice or brown rice.

EMA DATSHI (BHUTAN)



Ema Datshi (Bhutan) image

I used this recipe for week 31 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Bhutan is my 31st stop. Unless otherwise noted, my Travel by Stove recipes are taken from authentic or traditional sources. This recipe does come from a Bhutanese source but is traditionally made with yak's cheese, which you can't currently get in the US. The substitute of feta and Danish bleu is considered an acceptable substitute if you can't get yak's cheese.
