Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pre-cooked cornmeal
  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 ripe plantains, peeled and diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Additional butter for greasing

Time needed: 29 minutes

Recipe steps:

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine pre-cooked cornmeal and warm water. Mix until a smooth, lump-free dough forms. Let it rest for 5 minutes.

  2. Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté until they become translucent. Add diced plantains and cook until they caramelize and turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add black beans, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mixture is well combined and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Shape the Arepas

    Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into thick disks. Make a well in the center of each disk and fill it with a generous portion of the black bean and plantain mixture. Seal the edges to form stuffed arepas.

  4. Cook in arepa maker

    Preheat your Arepa Maker and grease it lightly with butter. Place the stuffed arepas in the machine and cook until they develop a golden crust, approximately 6-8 minutes on each side.

  5. Serve warm

    Remove the black bean and plantain arepas from the maker and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm and enjoy the harmonious blend of earthy black beans and sweet caramelized plantains.

Tips:

  • For a burst of freshness, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
