An arepa for Valentine's

I decided to surprise my sweetie with heart shaped arepas! There are plenty of heart shaped edibles out there, so why not an arepa? Since arepas are the way to a man's heart, ha,ha (so they say), here they are.  Follow the instructions below and the only other thing you need to do is get creative on your heart shapes! They come out looking just kitschy enough to make our daily arepa a bit different (we do eat them almost everyday!).

The ingredients are:
180 grams of pre-cooked white corn meal (harina P.A.N) sold in all latin stores
200 ml hot water (as hot as you tolerate it, you will be mixing by hand)
150gr of feta cheese (crumbled) the one cheese we've found that actually makes tasty arepas (the
          expat version)
Salt 1 teaspoon (optional the feta is already salty)
and butter for the pan so they don't stick to it and get that crunchy crust

It takes around 15 minutes to make
With this quantity you make up to 8 arepas, you can double the quantities and store the precooked arepas in the fridge. 






A daily food in the shape of a heart takes it to a Valentine's level.

Happy day you all from warm Colombia!
