Arepas at homePosted Aug 29th 2005 9:41PM by Nick Vagnoni Via eGullet comes this discussion of making cheese arepas at home. For those not familiar, arepas are fried cakes of cornmeal dough, often sold as street food in South America and also at street fairs in the U.S. Although cheese is a common filling, other common stuffings include beef or pork. Coincidentally, at a brunch I hosted yesterday, a friend decided to whip up a batch on the spot. She topped hers with black beans, and also tossed some sage and roasted red peppers into a few batches. Some were simply split and stuffed with crumbly farmer’s cheese and fresh salsa. Not exactly “grilled” cheese, but close enough. For more arepa background, have a look at the history of the arepa. |
