Arepas
Description
Arepas are similar to Mexican tortillas only in the sense that they are also consumed as a main dish, with various fillings, or as regular bread. However, their preparation differs significantly from Mexican flatbreads. Arepas are first fried and then baked, and they are made from corn flour. I received this arepa recipe from a friend who lived in Venezuela for a long time. Enjoy dishes rich in history and proven by time. Arepas make a great option for homemade bread and can be served with tea or coffee.
