Keshi Yena (Aruba) image

This recipe is from week 14 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Aruba is my 14th stop. Keshi Yena is traditionally made in a hollowed-out, four pound wheel of cheese. This updated version comes from Gasparito's Restaurant and Art Gallery in Aurba.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large onion
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups diced cooked chicken
1 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 dill pickles, minced
1 large green pepper, seeded and finely chopped
8 large stuffed green olives, sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
1/4 cup golden raisin
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup chopped cashews
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
1 lb gouda cheese, sliced

Steps:

  • Melt the butter over medium heat. Then add the onions and sauté until they turn a golden brown color.
  • Stir in the rest of the ingredients, except for the cheese.
  • Butter a baking pan and line it with slices of Gouda. Then pour the chicken mixture on top, and top with the rest of the cheese slices.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, then put it under your broiler for a few minutes, just long enough to start browning the cheese.
