O Que Você Precisa Saber

- O uso de farinha de milho pré-cozida específica permite hidratar a massa rapidamente sem necessidade de cozimento longo. - O repouso de 10 minutos após a hidratação absorve toda a água gerando massa macia sem rachaduras nas bordas. - A tostagem na chapa untada em fogo médio cria casca dourada estaladiça que mantém a estrutura ao abrir.

Chef Tips

- Shape the patties to a thickness of 1.5 to 2 centimeters with smooth edges so they puff slightly when grilling. - If you notice cracks when shaping the balls, add two tablespoons of warm water to the bowl and knead again. - Let the arepa cool for 2 minutes before cutting in half horizontally with a sharp serrated knife to fill.

Variations

- Arepa Reina Pepiada: fill with shredded chicken breast salad, mayonnaise, mashed avocado, and fresh cilantro. - Cheese arepa (de queso): incorporate one cup of grated medium-aged cheese directly into the dough before shaping. - Arepa with shredded meat: fill the interior with carne louca seasoned with bell peppers and onion.

Substitutions

- Pre-cooked white corn flour can be replaced with pre-cooked yellow corn flour keeping the measurements. - Warm water can be replaced by warm whole milk for a dough with a softer and milky profile. - The oil for greasing can be swapped for melted butter or olive oil on the iron griddle.

How to Store

Consume the arepas warm right after grilling and filling. Leftover grilled arepas without filling can be kept in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a hot skillet or toaster until they crackle.

Can You Freeze It?

Modele os discos de massa crus e congele em aberto sobre assadeira por 2 horas; embale em sacos plásticos por até 3 meses. Grelhe os discos ainda congelados na chapa untada em fogo baixo por 8 minutos de cada lado.

What to Serve With

Fill with slices of melted cheese, scrambled eggs with tomato and onion (perico), fresh guacamole, or black beans. To accompany, harmonize with chilled natural mango juice, creamy coffee with milk, or coconut water.
