When we eat at restaurants in town, we often have Ema Datsi (chilis and cheese), which doesn't even taste very spicy anymore, with red rice. Sometimes we eat meat, either pork or a dish called Chicken Chili, which is not chili as you would think of it in the US, but oh-so-delicious. Definitely one of the recipes I will be learning while we're here.
Mostly we cook at our apartment, where we make a lot of stir-fry type dishes from recipes we find online. Two of my favorites so far have been a hot and sour Chinese eggplant dish and a Thai red curry recipe. The fact that they're both quick and easy makes them even better.
I've also made two batches now of home-made yogurt. Although it involves a bit of time upfront, the taste and health factors make it worth the effort. I also attempted to make pizza just using our stovetop burners (we don't have an oven). It looked okay (those are tamarillos, chilies, and onions on top), but needs some major sauce adjustments and a thinner crust next time around.
