Diego Alonso Virgues (Convospeak) | Cooking Arepas with My Mom! Celebrating Indigenous Peoples' Day (In Partnership with FoodCorps) @ConvoSpeak | Uploaded October 2020 | Updated October 2024, 58 minutes ago.
For Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we are partnering with FoodCorps to make some delicious recipes. Today we are making a Colombian classic, Arepas. Not a lot of people know that arepas are of native origin, so today we celebrate arepas to remind people their history and connection to native ancestry. This delicious dish has been and still is passed from generation to generation for centuries and today my mom will teach me how to make them. Thank you mom for participating in the video and keeping the tradition alive.

1 and 1/2 cups lukewarm water
1/2 cups of milk
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups pre-cooked white corn flour (P.A.N.®) (Found in your local supermarket or bodega)
4 Tablespoons of butter
1 Cup of shredded
Instructions
1. Stir water, milk and salt together in a bowl. Stir corn flour and cheese into water with your fingers until mixture forms a soft, moist, malleable dough.
2. Divide dough into golf ball-size balls and pat each one into a thin patty.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or a pan on high heat.
4. Once it is hot, place the patties on the pan without any butter or oil.

Arepas are a very traditional food that few people recognize as native cuisine.
