I've never even heard of these but just from your photos and description alone, I'm drooling! I love anything carb-o-licious and especially if it has corn flour. I love that you were determined to recreate this dish after eating it in Colombia!

I had seen these on one of the cooking channels, but for some reason decided I couldn't make them. You give me the courage to try! They look just as good as the ones on TV!

I love arepas – lived in Venezuela as a child – so I always move about the planet with Harina PAN in my shipment. You never know when you can't find it in the next country. And then you are sad. 🙂 I think you've already experience what I'm talking about. 🙂

I would love to try this recipe but have never seen or heard of masrepa. My question would be the same as Julie's, is it the same as masa harina or closer to corn meal or grits? Could anything be used a a substitute and how would we go precooking it for use. Also, in the recipe it says to add the milk. I didn't see an amount for milk in the ingredients. Thank you for introducing me to a new dish and one way or another, I'll try to figure this out. 🙂

I'm incredibly familiar with Mexican food, and some Caribbean food, but I'm definitely still learning about Central and South American cuisines, and I've been really wanting to try arepas for a while now. Question: is masarepa the same thing as masa harina?
