Hey
I'm English but I love Colombian food. My friend's colombian (from Bogata) and her mum does the best colombian cooking. There are these little cakes she makes, a bit like mini pancakes - thats the only way I can describe them! And they taste a bit like potato, and I think they have cheese in too. I know she griddles them too. Does anyone know what they are and how I can make them. Also appreciate any other Colombian recipes too :D
Thanks

Re: Colombian Food mmm!
Mon, January 14, 2008 - 6:53 PMI found this online recipe in Enlgish...
www.recipezaar.com/130579
BUT... I don't make them like that.
If you can find "harina PAN" that would be GREAT! OR.... "Doña Arepa" is good too!
they come in yellow or white corn flour, and it depends on what kind of arepa you are going to make when it comes to choosing between white or yellow.
the most basic arepa is very simple...
for each cup of corn flour you slowly add a cup of water or milk (boiling), (ex: 1 cup of corn flour + 1 cup of water) and slowly add salt and a spoon full of melted butter. and make little patties. not too thin, not too thick.
if you want you can add grated cheese.
you can grill it or fry it. both ways are great! -
