VENEZUELAN-STYLE AREPAS
Arepas are griddle-fried corncakes made from a special kind of precooked corn flour called masarepa. Arepas are enjoyed in Colombia and Venezuela, although Venezuelan arepas tend to be thicker and are often stuffed with meat and other things to make different kinds of arepa sandwiches, such as the famous reina pepiada. Arepas are excellent with any meal, but are especially good for breakfast. Arepas have a crispy exterior with a soft and creamy texture on the inside. They have a milder corn flavor than tortillas or tamales, and are perfect for soaking up other flavors like the juices of cooked meat, beans, or aji salsa.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together well, until the mixture is very smooth. Don't worry if the dough appears wet. Let the mixture rest, covered, for about 5-10 minutes, to give the cornmeal time to absorb some of the liquid.
- The dough should be smooth and easy to handle, without sticking to your hands. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a little bit more water or milk. Knead the dough for several minutes and let rest again for 5 minutes. Or if the dough is too wet to handle, add a small amount of masarepa, knead until smooth, and let the dough rest for 5 minutes more.
- Take pieces of the dough and shape them with your hands into round disks, about 2 cm thick, and 3 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter. When shaping the arepas, repair any cracks along the edges with your fingers (moistening your fingers with water will help). If the dough is cracking a lot as you shape it, knead some more liquid into the dough until it can be shaped into disks without forming large cracks.
- Lightly grease the surface of a large heavy skillet (cast iron works well) with vegetable oil and heat the skillet over medium heat. Place the arepas into the skillet in batches, and turn heat down to medium low. Cook until the arepas are lightly browned on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Place arepas on a cookie sheet, then place them in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes (to finish cooking the inside of the arepas without burning them).
- Serve warm, with butter or cheese.

- Prepare the filling. To make the arepa filling, squeeze the avocado with your hands to mash it but leave some bits and pieces. Then, blend all the filling ingredients together to combine.
- Mix the salt and dry precooked cornmeal. Mix the salt into the dry precooked cornmeal. Use your hands here! There is no a set rule for how to make the masa—some people add the water first, but I add the salt.
- Add warm water. Slowly, add 2-1/2 cups of warm water to the cornmeal while mixing with your hand. In order to prevent lumps, keep mixing for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Knead the dough. Once you have a dough, knead for about 3 to 4 more minutes.
- Form a smooth ball. Shape the dough into a ball. Cover it with plastic wrap, cheesecloth or a clean, damp towel and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- Form smaller dough balls. Pull off pieces of the larger ball to form smaller balls. For each arepa, you want a ball that weighs 5 to 5-1/2 ounces.
- Flatten the arepa. In order to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, use the reserved water to wet your hands lightly. Flatten the ball of masa between the palms of your hands until it reaches the desired thickness of 1/2 to 3/4 inches all around.
- Grill the arepas. Place the arepas on a preheated and lightly greased grill pan on medium heat. Cook for about 7 to 8 minutes on each side, turning the arepa a few times carefully with a spatula to cook evenly until they are golden brown and puffy.
- Assemble the arepa. As soon as the arepas are cooked, stuff them and eat them! It’s when they are at their best—crispy, warm and delicious. To start, place the arepa on a clean kitchen towel.
