Arepa reina pepiada / arepa de huevo
Venezuela · Latin America
Reina pepiada is a Venezuelan arepa filled with cooked chicken and avocado. The cooked maize bread is split to form a pocket and filled before serving. Enri Lemoine describes mayonnaise as part of the familiar filling; her own version omits it and combines avocado with olive oil, roasted garlic and lime juice.[1]
Arepa de huevo is a different preparation from Colombia’s Caribbean region, sold at street stalls and around Cartagena’s beaches. Erica Dinho makes a round cake from precooked maize meal and fries it before cutting a pocket into its side. An egg is added, the opening is sealed with reserved dough, and the arepa is fried again. Some cooks also add minced meat.[2]
