5/24-26/2006 - A load of corn

Mexico may be out of the World Cup, but it's still in my heart. A combination of allergies (particularly milk, eggs and wheat) have conspired to keep us from eating much of American cuisine (sandwiches, omelets, pasta, etc.) As a result, we have been experimenting with other cuisines.

Today's experiment: Arepas.

2 cups of white corn meal
1 teaspoon of salt
3 cups of water

Mix well. Fry until golden brown on both sides.

Yum.

Being the non-Mexican that I am, I am anxiously considering variants. Tonight I tried adding black pepper to the batter. Next time, I might try sugar (with syrup on top).
