Colombian-Style Arepas (Grilled Corn Cakes) Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups pre-cooked cornmeal (masarepa)
• 2 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the griddle
• Optional toppings: cheese, avocado, butter, ham, eggs, etc.

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pre-cooked cornmeal, warm water, salt, and vegetable oil. Mix until the dough comes together and forms a smooth, slightly sticky consistency.
2. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball to form a disk, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat. Place the arepas on the griddle and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Once cooked, transfer the arepas to a plate and let them cool slightly before serving.
5. Slice each arepa in half and fill or top with your favorite ingredients, such as cheese, avocado, butter, ham, eggs, etc.
6. Serve the Colombian-Style Arepas warm and enjoy!
