Caprese Arepas: A Mediterranean Twist to Tradition

Experience the harmony of Mediterranean flavors with our Caprese Arepas. The juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, aromatic basil, and the touch of balsamic glaze create a delightful fusion that’s both familiar and exciting. Each bite is a celebration of freshness and sophistication, making it a must-try for culinary enthusiasts seeking a gourmet twist on tradition.

Ingredients for Caprese Arepas:

  • 1 cup pre-cooked cornmeal
  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ cups fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Additional butter for greasing

Time needed: 25 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. Shape the Arepas

    Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into thick disks. Cook the arepas in your arepa maker until they develop a golden crust, approximately 6-8 minutes on each side. Set aside to cool slightly.

  3. Assemble the Caprese Arepas

    On each cooked arepa, layer slices of ripe tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with fresh basil leaves.

  4. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze

    Finish the Caprese Arepas by drizzling them with balsamic glaze. The sweet and tangy glaze will enhance the flavors and add a gourmet touch to your creation.

  5. Serve warm

    Serve the Caprese Arepas warm, allowing the cheese to slightly melt from the heat of the arepas. Enjoy the harmonious blend of Mediterranean ingredients on a traditional Venezuelan base.

Tips:

  • For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and a few more basil leaves.

      Are you kidding me? Caprese Arepas are a culinary abomination. Traditional recipes should be respected and not messed with. Stick to the classics and leave the Caprese for your salads.
