What makes this recipe nice?

When we think of arepas, we immediately imagine the distinctive flavor of those made from corn, not only because of its pleasant taste but also because of tradition. They are the ideal companion for many dishes.

Ripe Plantain Arepas

The arepas are inevitable in the typical dishes of different regions of Colombia and South America; however, another alternative that I tried recently is the arepas prepared with a ripe plantain base.

I researched a little about this recipe. It turns out that it is trendy in Venezuela, where they usually served accompanied by various fillings, whether meat or vegetables. I think this makes them unique because their sweet taste can mix with other ingredients such as butter, cheese, beef, or chicken.

How do you prepare the plantain for the recipe?

If you are preparing these arepas, it is essential to have very ripe bananas. Even if some are with the bold peel, they can also use it. The point is that this time depends on the time required for cooking before making the dough. Since the more mature they are, the less time they need to cook.

Plate with Ripe Plantain Arepas

Another part of keeping in mind that a bit of pre-cooked corn flour should add to the plantain dough, this to give firmness to the mixture and so that it has less inconvenience when turning them when they are roasting

If, on the contrary, you do not want to use any flour, you can also prepare them only with the plantain, drain them well after cooking them. When making the dough, if it is a little "chicluda," you can leave it at rest for half an hour, and that's it, You will have a compact and easy to handle the dough.
