Arepa, Carimañola, Buñuelo
A few weeks ago I had an opportunity to enjoy some traditional Columbian breakfast. The food was very delicious and I took more than two servings for each of the dishes. Since I could not remember the names of the dishes, I asked my friend and host to refresh my memory. Here is the description of the dishes from the cook and host and my friend:
“Arepa is any kind of flat round shaped food made out of corn flour…so since that one had an egg inside it is called “arepa de huevo”. That’s the yellow one at the bottom. Huevo is egg in Spanish.
Carimañola is the one on the left. It is made out of yucca, cassava or tapioca (I think they all are different names for the same) and it has ground beef on the inside.
Buñuelo is any kind of spherical food. It can be made out of different ingredients. This one is made out of black eyed peas so it is called “Buñuelo de Frijol”. Frijol is bean in spanish”
Looks good man.
