Plantain and Cheese Arepas: A Sweet and Savory Fusion

Experience the best of both worlds with our Plantain and Cheese Arepas. The sweetness of ripe plantains melds perfectly with the gooey, melted cheese, creating a taste sensation that’s both comforting and exciting. Each bite is a delightful balance of sweet and savory, making it a must-try for food enthusiasts.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pre-cooked cornmeal
  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 2 ripe plantains, peeled and mashed
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 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 Plantain Mixture

    In a separate bowl, combine the mashed ripe plantains with ground cinnamon and sugar. Mix until well incorporated.

  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 plantain mixture. Top the filling with a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. 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 plantain and cheese arepas from the maker and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm and savor the delightful combination of sweet, caramelized plantains and gooey melted cheese.

Tips:

  • For an extra touch, drizzle a bit of honey over the top before serving for an indulgent treat.
