A spiced meat and Edam cheese main dish or appetizer from Aruba and Curacao

Provided by Annelotte Ellis

Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound chicken (white and dark meat or ground beef)
1 small onion (chopped)
1 green pepper (chopped)
1 clove garlic (chopped)
1 Tablespoon raisins
1/4 cup green pitted olives (coarsely chopped)
1 Tablespoon capers
1/2 Madame Janette pepper (or Scotch Bonnet)
1 Roma tomato (seeded and chopped)
1 Tablespoon ketchup
2 Tablespoon tomato paste
2 Tablespoon sweet relish
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon parsley (chopped)
1 tsp salt and pepper to taste
1/2 pound Edam cheese (shredded)

Steps:

  • If using chicken, prepare it in advance by simmering in water (with salt, water, onion, parsley which is later discarded), allow it to cool, remove from the bones and then shred it. You can also bake the chicken pieces (sprinkled with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning) in a 350 oven for 45 minutes, allow it to cool, remove from the bones and then shred it.
  • Brown the shredded chicken or ground beef ( or a combination of both) in a heavy frying pan.
  • Add the remaining ingredients except for the Edam cheese and parsley
  • Simmer for 15 minutes
  • Slice 2/3 of the Edam cheese into thin slices (optional. Omit if you're not lining the casseroles)
  • Grate the remaining 1/3 of the Edam cheese and add it to the meat and spice mixture.
  • Line the individual serving dishes with the slices of Edam cheese making sure they overlap (optional)
  • Fill the dishes with the Edam, meat and spice mixture and top with grated Edam
  • Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, sprinkle with parsley and serve hot with sliced toasted French bread or chunks of cornbread
