Posted below is a picture of an arepa stuffed with cheese...
just in case you were wondering what those might look like.
I really wanted to take a picture of the arepas I cooked tonight, but alas!
No batteries for the camera...
The arepa is a food staple in Colombia and Venezuela,
made of a pre-cooked corn flour.
Most people there eat them every day!
Since we can't get that kind of corn flour here,
they really are a special treat for us these days (there is a Latin food store
across the border where we can buy it).
In Venezuela, it is common to stuff them with many different fillings,
including shredded beef, chicken, or pork-also scrambled eggs,
cheese, tuna, deviled ham, boiled quail eggs, beef tongue, etc.
Add to that some garlic sauce and you have a wonderful meal
for breakfast, lunch, or supper!
