I have to comment on this recipe, that it is NOT the traditional keshi yena we make In Curacao! There are NO EGGS in the orginal recipe! And it should NOT be a HOT dish. The hot peppers and tabasco sauce should be optional. And no fresh tomatoes are used! Also Edam cheese comes with a red wax on the outside to protect the cheese. It should be explained that the wax has to be removed. And a much easier way of making it would be by slicing the Edam in 1/8 thich slices after peeleingawaythe wax!! and lining the bottom and sides of an ovenproof dish with the slices , fill the cheese with the meat mixture and cover with more cheese.Put in a 350 degrees oven for about 45 minutes,have the cheese melt and brown to a golden color. Serve with a crusty loaf and a green salad and fried ripe plantains! This is the authentic way to prepare keshi yena! NO EGGS EVER!!!!!!!! Call me DEEDEE
