What it is
Colombia's daily bread: a griddled white-corn cake, split and stuffed with melting cheese (or simply buttered and salted) — breakfast, snack and sandwich in one. Ingredients: pre-cooked white cornmeal (masarepa), water, salt, butter, mozzarella or queso costeño; fillings: cheese, eggs, shredded beef. Recipe: 1) Mix masarepa with warm salted water; rest until pliable. 2) Knead in butter or grated cheese. 3) Form thick discs by hand. 4) Griddle until golden with crisp spots; split and fill with cheese to melt. Serve: hot, with café con leche or chocolate santafereño. Flavor: sweet corn, buttery, salty cheese. History: corn cakes predate the Spanish across the Americas; Colombia grills them thick while Venezuela's arepas are usually split and stuffed — a friendly cross-border rivalry.
