Vegetarian Ema Datshi (Bhutan Chili Cheese Stew) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.
