This is the arepa I made myself for lunch yesterday. Arepas are an essential part of Colombian cuisine, which you may have already figured out if you’re a regular reader of this blog :). My mom actually believes that I could not live without arepas and if I really think about it…she’s probably right. Arepas are popular in Venezuela as well.
In Venezuela, they make arepas thicker and fill them with different ingredients than used in Colombia. In Colombia, we make the arepas thinner and top them with our favorite ingredients. Nowadays, you can buy arepas in packages at the grocery store, just like you’ll find Mexican tortillas. This arepa with salmon and shrimp was just wonderful. Enjoy it!

OMG. Your recipes of Columbia’s food are the best. I have Columbia’s friends and your recipes are just like they make it

Amazing one ! Had the pleasure to enjoy the recipe here in Ireland. I replace the mayonnaise by nonfat greek yogurt plus a bit of mayonnaise mixture to make it lighter.

wow...looks like a great lunch to me. I prefer to eat them topped, rather than filled. It opens it up to more possibilities, like a salmon salad!

I'm almost afraid that if I make this recipe that the arepas will become a necessity for me! Not that I'd probably be complaining but you have me craving so many delicious sounding foods.
