Arepas. By Julia Vera

AREPAS

Maybe you have heard about arepas. There are differents types of arepas, but in Venezuela they are only two: the andina arepa and the normal arepa. In Caracas we ussualy eat the normal arepa.




The arepa is a typical food of South America, and in my country everybody eats arepas. You can eat arepas for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can find them in restaurants, but they are better from the street.


The recipe constists of "white corn meal" flour, salt, and water. We cook them fried or grilled and, you can eat it with the filling of your choice. Normaly we use butter or mayonnaise, cheese, all kinds of meets, eggs, chicken, and any other food that you can imagine. Also we eat it with "parakeet". It is a mix of eggs, tomatoes and other vegetables.
