Arepas

Method

Preparation

1

Mix the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal and salt. Gradually add water while mixing with your hands until a soft, pliable dough forms.

2

Shape the Arepas

Divide the dough into equal portions (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each portion into a disc about 1/2 inch thick.

3

Cook the Arepas

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the discs in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

4

Fill the Arepas

Remove the arepas from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Cut a slit in the side of each arepa and fill with cheese, meats, or any other desired fillings.

5

Serve

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious arepas!
