What are Arepas? 🫓

Arepas are cornmeal cakes that originated hundreds of years ago in a region that now makes up Colombia, Venezuela, and Panama. Traditionally, they were cooked on a pan called a budare. But they can also be grilled, baked, or fried. Arepas can be stuffed with various ingredients, some traditional options are: brisket, cheese, and chicken salad.

But this time, we’re doing something a little different... 🇮🇹👀
