    Arepa HawainaPin

    Since I am a stay home mom, I am always thinking of new things to make for easy lunches. Arepas are always a delicious and simple meaI and are great for lunch. I make the arepas ahead of time so I only have to assemble them when it's time for lunch. This Hawaiian-Style Arepa tasted wonderful and was full of flavor. Buen provecho!

        Enith- Goya has pre-cooked cornmeal and you can find it at your local supermarket.

          Isn't masarepa cornflour not cornmeal? I know Goya calls their masarepa pre-cooked (whatever they mean by that) cornmeal, but if I recall correctly, they grind it as finely as cornflour.
