Viva Las Arepas
Funzionalità Premium
The arepa, a pre-Columbian food, has been a staple in the region that is now Venezuela and Colombia for centuries. Its simple ingredients reflect the indigenous roots, while the addition of pernil (roasted pork), likely came about with the introduction of Spanish culinary traditions and the availability of pork after colonization.

The arepa itself provides a mild, subtly corny flavor with a slightly chewy and crispy exterior. The pernil is rich and intensely savory, with notes of garlic, oregano, and sometimes a hint of citrus. The roasted pork skin contributes a delightful crunch. Sometimes, the arepa may include additions like avocado, cheese or a simple salsa which will add additional creamy, fresh or spicy notes.

Perfect Arepa Texture
Use pre-cooked corn flour (harina P.A.N.) and knead the dough well with warm water until it forms a smooth, pliable consistency. Don't over-knead. The dough should be moist but not sticky.
Flavorful Pernil
Marinate the pork shoulder for at least 24 hours (or even longer) in a mixture of garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, vinegar, and citrus juices (orange or lime) for the most flavorful pernil.
Crispy Pernil Skin
To achieve crispy skin, score the pork skin before marinating and roasting. During roasting, occasionally baste the pernil with its own juices. You can also broil the pernil briefly at the end of cooking to crisp up the skin further, being careful not to burn it.
Arepa Cooking Method
The arepas can be grilled, baked, or pan-fried, achieving different crusts and textures. A combination of pan-frying to achieve a good crust, followed by baking, is often preferred.
