About Arepa de Chocolo
Erica Dinho presents arepas de chócolo as traditional sweet-corn arepas of Colombia's Andean region. Her rendition uses fresh corn, a little sugar and salt, with butter for cooking and Colombian quesito to serve.
The corn is blended into a thick batter and ladled onto a buttered griddle. The arepas cook on both sides until golden, with extra precooked cornmeal offered only when the batter needs thickening.
They are served promptly or kept warm, with butter and cheese on top. Erica describes them as a breakfast or afternoon snack, often accompanied by coffee.
