Ingredients
- 10 oz. chili peppers (spicy Thai green/red chilies and jalapeño)
- 1 red onion , sliced
- 1 tomato , sliced
- 3 cloves garlic , crushed
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 10 oz cheese , grated (a combination of feta, cheddar or farmers cheese)
- salt to taste
- 1 cup water (to cook the veggies)
Instructions
- Heat a pan and add butter. Add the sliced onion, tomato and chillies. Give them a quick toss and the water. Season them with salt. Cover and cook until the peppers become tender.
- Turn off the flame and add the cheese and let it melt in the residual heat.
- Serve it over a bed of red or white rice.
Notes
- For a flavorful dish, use a combination of chillies like Anaheim, jalapeño, and green chilies (Thai or Indian variety).
- Increase or reduce the amount of chillies based on your tolerance for heat. You can also remove the pith and ribs to reduce the heat quotient
- You can use any type of cheese especially one that melts. Avoid using stringy cheese like mozzarella. A combination of farmer’s cheese, blue cheese & cheddar would be good.
