Please note, I do not have exacts amounts of each ingredient, so trust in your senses and test, and play with the ingredients.
Arepas
Masa harina (sort of corn flour, you can get it at the Middlebury Co-op)
Water
Milk
Schreded Cheese (mozarella or cheddar, the best is queso blanco, but difficult to find)
Salt (quarter teaspoon per cup)
We can prepare the vegan option with tofu and soy milk
For each cup of masa harina may be 1/2 a cup of warm liquid (But this is not accurate!). You can use only water, or milk or both. It depends on your availability, in Colombia sometimes you just have water and salt and this is enough! Add the cheese or tofu finely scrambled. Add the salt
Kneed with you hands till the mixture is soft but firm. Make a 1/2 inch round tortilla, the size or your hand (2 inches width)
Put them in a flat pan that has been previously greased with oil or butter. Once it has been toasted on one side and is crunchy and hard, brown but not burned, flip it over and toast the other side. Add butter on the top, sprinkle a bit of salt, pepper, spices and yum...!
Salsa
2 Tomatoes
1 Onion
A handful of fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lime or lemon
1 spoon of olive oil ( I used a bit of apple cider vinegar because did not have oil)
Salt
Paprika or red hot chilly (optional)
Finely chop all the ingredients, combine them and enjoy. There is not right amount here, just your senses.
Chicken
1 onion (red or white)
2 or 3 tomatos
3 or 4 or more garlic cloves
Red capsicum
As much as you want of salt, pepper, cumin, (ginger, thyme, or other spices if desired)
Usually for a meal for 4 people we use about a half tablespoon of salt
1 pound of chicken or beef or tofu or mixed veggies cut in big chunks; or nothing and just add this salsa to potatoes or rice and it's delicious.
Cut the onion, tomatoes, and capsicum in half inch squares, mince the garlic. Saute the onion and the garlic till they are transparent, add tomatoes and capsicum and add spices. When veggies are soft and juicy (the salsa is ready) put the meat in and saute, add 1/2 cup of water. You can add veggies if you want. Cover and leave in medium heat till meat is ready, about 10-15 minutes. Serve with rice if you want.
