About Arepa Paisa

Arepa paisa is presented by Erica Dinho through the hominy-corn preparation she remembers from her grandmother's kitchen. This rendition starts with dried maize rather than the precooked cornmeal shortcut.

Soaked and cooked hominy is ground with butter into a dough, with salt providing the seasoning. The grain supplies the body of the cake, which is flattened into small rounds.

A buttered pan or griddle gives the arepas a crust and golden surface. Butter and fresh cheese accompany the finished cakes, keeping this serving close to the simple corn-and-dairy pairing in the recipe.
