Bhutanese Cheese Curry (Ema Daji)

This dish is usually made very hot in Bhutan, however when I make it it’s with jalapenos and fewer chilies. Adjust to your own taste. The cheese used in Bhutan is Churpi, which is a cross between farmer’s cheese and feta. Since it is not widely available, feta is substituted in this recipe. This unusual soup-like curry is rich and warming on a cool day. Recipe adapted from the book, “Mangoes and Curry Leaves ” by the team of Alford and Duguid.

Hummus Belizean-Style

Adapted from a recipe in the cookbook ‘Flavors of Belize’. Belize has a small Arab/Lebanese population and it has contributed to and influenced Belize’s melting pot cuisine. Black beans or garbanzo beans can replace the kidney beans if desired. Note: the food.com site does not recognize the ingredient ‘recado rojo’. You will need a half teaspoon of it for this recipe.
