VEGETARIAN EMA DATSHI (BHUTAN CHILI CHEESE STEW)
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.
