🇻🇪❤️ ARTURO’S AUTHENTIC VENEZUELAN AREPAS ❤️🇻🇪

Two traditional styles, one family recipe, and a whole lot of love!

Arepas are a Venezuelan favorite made with simple ingredients, but the secret is in the preparation, the shape, and how you cook them!

🌽 THE BASIC AREPA DOUGH

Ingredients:

* 2 cups pre-cooked white corn flour (Harina PAN)
* 2½ cups warm water
* 1 teaspoon salt

Making the Dough:

1. Add warm water to a large mixing bowl and dissolve the salt.
2. Slowly add the corn flour while mixing with your hands.
3. Knead thoroughly, making sure to work out ALL lumps and clumps. You want completely smooth, soft, uniform dough.
4. Let rest for approximately 5 minutes.
5. Divide and shape according to the two styles below.

🍳 STYLE #1: LEXI’S FAVORITE AREPAS FROM MENEMAUROA

Our special fried arepa!

Shape:

* Approximately ½ inch thick.
* 4–5 inches wide.
* Make a small, finger-sized hole right in the center.

Cooking:
Fry in hot oil until beautifully golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

❤️ THE LEXI SPECIAL TOPPING

1. Start with a drizzle of fry sauce (equal parts ketchup and mayonnaise).
2. Add your favorite sliced lunch meat.
3. Add another drizzle of fry sauce.
4. Sprinkle with diced boiled eggs.
5. Finish with delicious shredded Oaxaca cheese.

A crispy, savory, creamy combination that makes this one extra special!

🔥 STYLE #2: ARTURO’S TRADITIONAL BAKED AREPAS

Shape:

* Approximately ¾–1 inch thick.
* 3–4 inches wide.
* Shape into thick, round discs.

Cooking:

1. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
2. Cook the arepas on both sides until they develop a DARK brown crust.
3. Transfer to a preheated 425°F oven.
4. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, until cooked through.

The result? A beautiful, crusty outside with a warm, soft interior!

These can be sliced open and topped or filled with your favorite meats, cheeses, eggs, or whatever you’re craving.

❤️ A LITTLE VENEZUELAN TRADITION, A LITTLE FAMILY HISTORY, AND A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE.

Made Arturo’s way, enjoyed by everyone!

🇻🇪 ¡Buen provecho!
