Pork and Avocado Stuffed Arepas with Hatfield Quality Meats
Ingredients
- 6 arepas
- 1 Hatfield Quality Meats Oven Roasted Pork Loin Filet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 small ripe avocados
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 cup red onion slices
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
Arepas
- 2 ¼ cups of water
- 2 cups arepa flour pre-cooked corn flour
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon salt.
Instructions
- To cook the pork: In a large sauce pan, heat the oil over high heat, add the strips of pork loin and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until browned, stirring frequently. Keep aside on a warm plate.
- In a small bowl mash the avocado and mix with lime juice and salt. Keep in the fridge until ready to assemble the arepas.
- To make the arepas: In a medium bowl add the water, arepa flour, butter and salt. Mix with your hands, making circular movements while breaking the lumps that may form with your fingers, until you have a dough. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Form balls and flatten them gently until they’re about ½ inch thick discs.
- Place the discs on the skillet and cook the arepas for about 3 minutes on each side or until lightly golden brown. Cover them with aluminum foil to keep them warm.
- Split each arepa in half and fill them with pork, avocado mixture, cilantro and onion slices and serve.
