    Arepa con SalmonPin

    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!

      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.

      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!

      Ah! Que buenas.
      Desde que descubrí las arepas este invierno pasado, me encantan. Con todo lo que le pongas.
      Y estas tuyas tienen que estar de muerte.
      Un beso.

      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.
