4 жыл бұрын

Luis Herrera of Casa Ora in Brooklyn, NY makes Reina Pepiada arepas, a hand-held, pre-Hispanic dish fit for a queen. The Reina Pepiada arepa, created in the 1950s in Venezuela, is one of the most popular varieties, stuffed with creamy chicken salad and avocado slices. Luis’ recipe covers the making of the filling as well as the arepa itself, made from masa dough and cooked on a skillet.

Really appreciate the tip about finishing these by baking in oven for a few minutes. I made these today; they turned out great! I didn't have other ingredients so I only used garlic, spinach, and scrambled eggs.

@tamanako2507 Ай бұрын

Tip when arepas are in the oven: they are ready when you tap them and they sound like a little drum 🥁, that's my grandma's method 🤠👍 You can also use any filling ingredient you wish 🤠👍 no problems, some are relatively new urban filling inventions from the XX Century. Only the majority decides which are the favourite flavours 😄👍 I used to make a simple one as a kid of my own invention in my family we used to call "tomatina" 😄; In a pan: chopped tomato, chopped spring onions and a bit of cummin to taste, half way through: very thinly sliced garlic + salt and pepper to taste and once nearly cooked: dices of white cheese + chopped parsley and/or basil to taste optional if not just use chopped green leaves of the spring onions so as to keep the same taste 🤠👍 the cheese dices must be chewy in texture not fully melted 😋👍 if you want a more creamy blended finnish just add a bit of butter 👍 Another tip, for different creamy cheesy fillings or even with black beans: use buttermilk as an extra ingredient (we call it "suero"), you can have it as a separate filling too like a sauce, quite popular when eating arepas👍.

@josealbarran7202 3 жыл бұрын

The arepa can give the appearance of being raw in the inside, but the arepa corn flour is actually pre-cooked, you don't have to worry about getting sick. However, if you wish, you can extract the white soft dough from the inside and soak it in salty butter when it's still hot and eat it just like that, it's something kids in Venezuela love doing.

@YourMajesty143 4 жыл бұрын

Oaxaca cheese is the only ingredient that is exclusively Mexican, all the rest are in pretty much in every Latin nation -- which is nice bc it means we all share our roots and have similarities in what flavors taste good to us. The Venezuelan cheese we typically use is Queso de Mano or Queso Crineja in our arepas bc of the stringy yet creamy texture, so it makes sense to use Oaxacan cheese in its place if you can get it.
