What is Keshi Yená?

What is Keshi Yená?

Paliamento is one of three languages spoken in Curacao. The others are English and Dutch. Keshi Yená is a Paliamento term for 'melting pot' and the dish is usually served as a parcel of rich Gouda (or Edam) cheese which, when cut open, reveals any combination of meat (usually chicken), vegetables and seasoning. Capers are often used, and soy sauce, curry and dried fruits feature heavily, too. 


In the semi-finals of Top Chef Wisconsin, the four remaining chefs were asked to make a "Keshi Yena" out of lionfish and Gouda.
