I learnt to make Venezuelan food 🇻🇪

I’m learning to make 1 dish from every country in the world! This week it’s arepas with my friend Omarlys! @guaiqueri_hawaii 🇻🇪

Venezuela Arepa Recipe (2-3 Arepa)

Ingredients

* 1 cup warm water
* 1cup pre-cooked corn flour like Harina P.A.N. (slightly less than 1/2 cup)
* ½ teaspoon salt
* 2 teaspoon oil or butter (optional)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the warm water and salt.
2. Slowly add the corn flour while mixing with your hands or a spoon.
3. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes so the flour absorbs the water.
4. Knead gently until smooth.
* If too dry → add a tiny splash of water
* If too sticky → add a little more flour
5. Shape into a thick disk about 1/2 inch thick.

Cook

* Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil.
* Cook about 5–7 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
* Optional: finish in the oven for 5 minutes so the inside gets fluffy.

For the reina pepiada filling

*1 cooked chicken breast, shredded

* Squeeze of lime
* Salt + black pepper to taste

Mash avocado and mix with:

* shredded chicken
* mayo

*mustard

3. Slice the arepa halfway open and stuff generously with the reina pepiada filling.
