Here are some tips for making delicious arepas at LATIN STREET CUISINE:
1. Choose the right cornmeal: Use pre-cooked white or yellow cornmeal specifically made for arepas. This will give your arepas the best texture and taste.
2. Add salt and water: Mix the cornmeal with salt and water to form a dough-like consistency. Make sure the dough is not too dry or too sticky.
3. Let the dough rest: Allow the dough to rest for 10-15 minutes to fully hydrate. This will make it easier to shape the arepas and prevent them from cracking while cooking.
4. Shape the arepas: Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into round disks, about 3-4 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick. Make sure the edges are smooth and even.
5. Cook on a hot griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Place the arepas on the griddle and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
6. Slice and fill: Once the arepas are cooked, carefully slice them in half and fill them with your choice of fillings such as shredded meat, cheese, avocado, or beans.
7. Serve hot: Serve the arepas immediately while they are still warm. They can be enjoyed as a main dish or as a side to accompany other Latin American dishes.
