Arepas de Yuca
I invite you to prepare these delicious cassava arepas, an ideal alternative to replace the traditional corn arepa that is frequently consumed at breakfast, lunch, or to accompany other preparations. They are straightforward to prepare and with a minimum of ingredients that can have in the kitchen.

- 1 lb cassava peeled cut and cooked.
- ½ cup pre-cooked cornmeal
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Half a cup of mozzarella cheese or grated white cheese.
- A pinch of salt
- Butter needed to roast the arepas.
Instructions
- Add the cooked cassava in a large bowl, grate, or crush it.
- Add pre-cooked cornmeal, tablespoons of milk melted butter, and salt. Knead very well to incorporate the ingredients and then let stand for 5 minutes.
- Then, add the cheese and knead a little more. Make balls with the mixture and form the arepas by hand, about 1-centimeter-thick, and the desired size.
- Add a little butter to a nonstick skillet over medium heat, place the arepa and let it brown on each side for 4 to 5 minutes or until you notice that they are golden brown.
Enjoy your meal!
