Keshi Yena is the National dish of Dutch island of Aruba. Seasoned ground beef is encased in melty, gooey Edam or gouda cheese. Easy to make and mild in flavor, this is a must try Caribbean dish.
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan or skillet on medium heat. Sauté the peppers and onions for about 5 minutes, until onions just start to be translucent. Then add the garlic for about a minute.
Add the meat and parsley together into the pan and cook until the meat is just about cooked through. Drain the grease and return to the stove.
Add all the other ingredients except the eggs. Cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and rest for 2 minutes then stir in the egg.
Slice the Gouda or Edam cheese into thin slices. Line the bottom and sides of your casserole dish or the bottom or your ramekins with slices of the cheese.
Add the meat mixture on top of the sliced cheese.
Top with the additional slices of cheese. If desired, brush the top of the cheese with an egg wash.
Bake the dish, uncovered, for 35-45 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and lightly browned. If using ramekins, cook time may be shorter so keep an eye on it.
