Columbian Arepas*
Dana and I have made a point of joining book groups, hiking groups and taking courses in the five places visited on our adventure. It is a good way to get to know local people, make friends and find out about the hidden delights of where we visit.
In Santa Barbara, I am taking conversational Spanish and Dana is taking cooking classes. Last night the menu for Dana’s class included:
Columbian Arepas
Chile Verde Mexican Style
Chile Rellenos
Mexican Rice
Peruvian Beans
Tomatillo-Morita Salsa
Nopales Salad
Peruvian Rice Pudding
Cafe de Olla
We thought you would enjoy these images of the process and the delicious product.
Chile Verde
Chili and cheese stuffing
Deep frying the relleno
Chili Rellenos
Peruvian Beans
Nopales (Prickly Pear Cactus) Salad
Peruvian Rice Pudding
La Cena (The Dinner)
And Dana brought home the left-overs so I get to sample everything. Deelish!
*Columbian Arepas are Columbian style cornbread with cheese.
