If you don't like cabbage I suggest:
making a coleslaw recipe with plenty of citrus, it seems to cut through the bitterness.
it made me a believer.
also if you are squimmesh of mayo usage (as I am), sour cream or yogurt are excellent substitutes.
And on to the Arepas.Arepas are basically stuffed tortillas. They vary throughout south america, but for the sake of this blog, an arepa is a stuffed tortilla. John fell in love with them at a hole in the wall restaurant in Provo and so tonight we succesfully attempted them.
Super easy, super yummy. 4 ingredients.
Arepas for 2
1 c masa harina (dry)
1/2 c warm water
1 t salt
1/2 c cheddar cheese (pepper jack would be a yummy option)
1. Mix masa and water with your hand and let sit for 5 minutes.
2. Add salt and knead a little, it should stick togehter well.
3. Split into 8 smaller balls, roll so they are smooth.
4. Flatten between wax paper with a rolling pin or handy dandy tortilla maker like we have.
5. put cheese in the middle of half the rounds and top with the other rounds.
6. Smash the edges so it is sealed.
7. Heat pan and add thin layer of oil.
8. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side on medium high.
Serve with coleslaw
These were great. There were like super flavorful tortillas because the cheese seemed to just become a part of the tortilla instead of ozzing out. Delicious! We will definitly be doing that again.
And don't for a minute think it was too hard because it literally took 5 minutes!
Has anyone bought masa harina yet? I want to hear what you think!
Sorry for the lack of dessert this week, we've been being kinda healthy...
