Venezuelan Style Arepas or Arrepas are thick pan-cooked corn cakes popular in the South American region. They are usually prepared from a dehydrated pre-cooked cornmeal called Masarepa. But substitutes are totally fine as it gets much of the flavour from its cheese based stuffing. While some are stuffed with cheese and then cooked on an iron griddle, other varieties are cooked, cut open on one side and then stuffed with a mix of cheese, veggies/chicken and onions. One of the variations even calls for a raw egg to be put inside a sliced arepa which is then re-fried on the griddle.Â Let's see how to make arepas as we share easy arepas recipe.
