Venezuelan Arepa with Cheese Recipe
It is a simple recipe that you can make in a few minutes and with few ingredients, which are almost always available in your pantry. You can prepare it with different types of cheese or a combination of them. It is filled once the arepa is ready or the cheese is incorporated in the preparation of the dough.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Warm water
- 3 cups Precooked corn flour
- 1/4 cda Salt
- 250 gr Cheese of your choice
Instructions
- The first thing to do is to put the warm water in a bowl with capacity to knead comfortably. Add the salt and little by little the corn flour and stir so that no lumps are formed.
- Then we proceed to knead with our hands until we get a consistent, soft and non-sticky dough.
- Divide the dough into equal parts and roll the dough into balls.
- Now open a hole in the dough to place the cheese portion, then close and shape the arepa.
- We place a medium high heat on a budare or griddle and grease it, we can cook for several minutes. Turn every so often to cook evenly on both sides.
- When the arepas are golden brown and sound like a drum when tapped, remove from the griddle and serve. Enjoy.
