Here's one of my favourite foods from home: Arepas heart . The recipe is for plain arepas,but you can stuff them with anything you want. Personally I love them stuffed with shrimp. So good...
Ingredients:
3 lbs of all-purpose flour
3 tbsp of salt
2 sticks of margarine or 1 ½ sticks of butter at room temperature
3 cups of boiling water for every 3 lbs of flour
Procedure:
- Mix boiling water, flour, and margarine in large bowl.
- Kneed mix to make dough. Add flour as needed. The dough is ready when it doesn't stick to your hands anymore.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm draft free place for 8-10 hours.
- Make 25-30 balls with 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Flatten each ball with your hand and give it a circular shape with a thickness of approximately ¼".
- Pour oil into a deep frying pan to a depth of about ¾" to 1" and heat to 350°F.
- Fry the arepas, a few at a time,in the oil. Using a metal spoon, pour hot oil over the arepas.
- As the arepa turns golden brown and puff up, turn over to cook the other side.
- Remove arepa and drain on paper towel.
