Venezuelan Arepas | The Frugal Chef
Arepas are griddle-fried corn cakes made from a special kind of pre-cooked cornmeal called masarepa. They are a delicious dish that is very popular in Colombia and Venezuela and they are easy to make at home.
Venezuelan arepas are generally thicker and are often filled with meat and other things to make different types of arepa sandwiches such as the famous reina pepiada with chicken and avocado. Arepas are great with any meal but are especially good for breakfast.
Arepas have a crispy exterior with a soft creamy texture on the inside. They have a milder corn flavor than tortillas or tamales and are perfect for soaking up other flavors such as the juices from cooked beef beans or aji salsa.
