The Spice of Life E02: South American, cuisine at Pink Box

Join KCLR and the Spice of Life for our episode in the Pink Box as we chat about South American cuisine.

Here's the recipe for one of the delicious dishes prepared on the show:

Arepa

Stir water and salt together in a bowl; gradually stir in cornmeal with your fingers
Form the dough in to small – medium sized balls 
Flatten the dough balls 
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; fry arepas in batches until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes per side
Take out the arepas and let them cool 
Slice the arepas, add your favourite fillings and enjoy.
