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]

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👍.

The árepas is perfect to end a party night at 7:00. The areperas used to work 24/7 you can fill it with anything. Anything that is salty, some people fill it with (plátanos maduros fritos😅) with boiled eggs, fried eggs, cooked salads, or cold salads (chicken, tuna, potato), meat, chicharrón, chinchulines, mondongo. Everything you want.

[@Katharsis540]

Venezuela. We love arepas. Corn love it.

[@OrtonCenaHBatistaFan]

I JUST MADE THIS . the filling is amazing!!! I had a problem with the actual arepa not being cooked in the inside :( i scooped it all out though. but man that filling is so good.

[@aecarter1341]

I love the inside. Its like a tamale.

[@ElLocoAl512]

Maybe the fire was too high. I like to cook my árepas with medium fire. Take your time. Worth it. And my favorite fill is with tuna salad (a can of tuna, tomato, red onion, avocado, cilantro and little bit of lemon juice, just like the reina pepiada but with tuna)😅🤤

[@josealbarran7202]

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.

[@ricardoguanipa8275]

when the Spanish conquistadors Brought with them "Moorish" women to America from the recent reconquest of The Iberian Peninsula, they did the cooking in their camps, that's why a lot of traditional Latin American dishes are similar to arab cousine

[@efrainflores6319]

Mexicans have been using corn and making tortillas before the Spanish came. Thanks to the the new world places have corn, tomatoes and avocados, etc.

[@waNErBOY]

@@ricardoguanipa8275 however this is a pre colonial dish, this was not brought to Venezuela by Spaniards, our natives created this. Its just another case of cultures in places pretty far from each other happen to create something identical.

[@nattobaby]

whats a good substitute for cilantro? like same taste minus the soapiness

[@peacku]

Basil, parsley, chives, sweet basil or even mint depending on what you put it in and personal taste. For this recipe I think chives or parsley would be great with the lime, garlic and mayo!

[@Katharsis540]

Do Ayacas also please.

[@carrcorp2]

Corn, avocado, cilantro, Oaxaca cheese it’s nice to see Mexican ingredients in a Venezuelan dish

[@YourMajesty143]

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.

[@carrcorp2]

YourMajesty143 corn was invented in North America avocado is native to Mexico it didn’t exist in south America and nobody ever used cilantro until Mexicans made it famous it was rarely used in Asian quinine or anywhere else in the world
