I recently rewatchedEncantoand was absolutely ✨mesmerized✨ by the arepas con queso Mirabel Madrigal eats in that one scene.
In case you haven't seen the movie, there's a part where the main character, Mirabel, has a wound on her hand. After eating her mother's cheesy cornmeal cakes, she completely heals.
现在，如果那不足以让他们吃东西，我不知道是什么！而且因为它是拉丁传统月, I thought: What better time to share a recipe with everyone?
Arepas通常被当作小吃，早餐，午餐或晚餐哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉。它们可以是美味的或甜的，关键成分是一种玉米面的Masarepa。我制作的那些装满了奶酪，并在基于一个基于柠檬的阿瓦卡多泥浆上Encanto-启发recipefrom Tasty. Here's how it all went:
I started by gathering my ingredients. All you'll need is masarepa, water, salt, and a melty cheese. Since I couldn't find queso blanco — which is what the Tasty recipe recommended — at my local grocery store, I used low-moisture mozzarella, and I think they still turned out delish!
In a large bowl, I mixed 1 cup of masarepa, 1 cup of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.
The mixture was very moist and sticky at first, but after about four minutes of stirring, it started to form a cookie dough–like consistency.
将面团凝固后，我将其铺在切菜板上，并将其分为四个部分。
然后，我将面团形成椭圆形的形状。这部分不需要完美。
一旦形成了面团球，我就抓住了一汤匙奶酪，然后将其包装在中间。
抬起面团的外部边缘，我遮盖了奶酪，所以看不到。
I repeated that process until all of the dough balls were stuffed with cheese. I then put some non-stick oil spray on a pan and turned the heat on medium-high.
我发现将AREPA预先放在光盘上之前，将其放在锅中是最简单，最佳的烹饪方法。
After about 2 minutes, I flipped it over and found that they became perfectly toasted with nice light brown specks.
我让另一侧再煮两分钟，并在其余所有的AREPA中重复此过程。
在此步骤之后，您几乎完成了，可以自由选择如何吃它们。我切了一些鳄梨，并在一些酸橙汁和盐中混合起来。这很简单，但是如果您感到奢侈，可以添加一些番茄，洋葱，玉米，甚至可以制作莎莎to accompany these savory corn cakes!
