Venezuelan Arepa

Venezolana Origin

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of Juana corn meal 
  • 2 1/4 cups of water 
  • 1 teaspoon of salt 

Preparation

  1. Measure and pour the water into a bowl, add the salt, and dissolve. 
  2. Gradually add the 2 cups of precooked Juana corn flour while stirring the water with the flour. 
  3. Once all the water is incorporated, knead for 2 to 3 minutes until you obtain a very soft masa and let it rest for 5 minutes. 
  4. Divide the masa into 10 small balls, each approximately 3 ounces and pat with your hands to form the arepas with a diameter of 4 inches and 1-inch thickness. 
  5. Cook on a griddle over medium-high heat for 5 minutes on each side. 
  6. Cover with a cloth napkin to keep them warm. Cut the arepas horizontally halfway and fill them with the stew of your choice.
