Notes
One of my favorite things about being born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela is that I managed to learn how to make Arepas. Arepas are corn-based pancakes and they are the perfect meal for any time of the day! Today I am going to teach you how to make them, so that you can enjoy the perks that I had while growing up in Venezuela.
Ingredients:
For the Arepa
-1 cup of Harina Pan (you can purchase in any local Hispanic market or Star Market)
-1 1/2 cups of Water
-1 tsp. of salt
For the stuffing -very much based on your preferences but normally includes the following:
-Butter
-Your choice of cheese
-Egg
-Chicken or meat
-Avocado
-Beans
Process:
-Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F
-Grab a mixing bowl and add the Harina Pan and the water
-Using a fork (this will help avoid having any clumps) mix until smooth
-Make sure the mix isn't too soggy or too dry (If it is too soggy, add a bit more flour and if it is too dry, add a bit more water)
-Using your hands, grab a fistful of the mix and make it into a ball
-Slowly pat the ball into a flattened shape so that it looks like this:
-You can make it as thick or thin as your prefer
-Place the arepas into the oven
-Leave in for 15 min
-Flip the arepas
-Leave in for another 15 min
-Take arepas out of the oven
-Cut the arepas in the middle but leave a little bit of the end without cutting
-Stuff you arepa as you desire
-Enjoy!
