piercing the root, cut each wedge in half; repeat until wedges are

the root, separate the layers; the separated onion will resemble a

Arepas
1 . Stir the masarepa and salt together in a bowl . Combine the olive oil
and water and slowly add to the dry ingredients with a spoon .
Mixture should come together in a solid, somewhat wet mass .
Continue to mix as the masarepa will continue to absorb the liquid .
The final arepa dough should feel damp to the touch .
2 . Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the dough and form by hand
into a smooth disc, about 2 inches in diameter . Repeat with rest of
dough .
3 . Place the Grill/Griddle Plate onto the Baking Pan, Griddle side up .
Place into the oven in the lower rack position . Set to Grill at 450°F
and allow to preheat for at least 10 minutes .
4 . Brush the arepas on both sides liberally with oil . Once the oven is
preheated, carefully place the arepas onto the hot griddle plate .
Cook for about 8 minutes per side . Arepas should be crispy on the
outside and cooked through on the inside .
5 . To serve, slice the arepa horizontally and fill with desired fillings
(some suggestions are Shredded South of the Border Grilled
Chicken, beans, veggies, cheese) . Serve with desired toppings
(e .g ., crumbled cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, pickled red onion,
avocado, etc .)
* Masarepa is ground pre-cooked cornmeal that is the essential
ingredient for preparing homemade arepas . It can be found in the Latin
food aisle of the supermarket .
