This is a quick way to prepare arepas. Not exactly the taste of the traditional arepa, but quite close enough. Arepas can also be topped with tuna salad, chicken, ham and cheese, sautéed tomatoes and onions, and beef.

6 -8 arepas (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup precooked white cornmeal
1 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
salt, to taste

Directions

1
Bring water to a boil and add it to the corn meal, stirring thoroughly. Add the butter and salt to taste.
2
Form into several flat tortillas (4 to 6 inches diameter, 1/8 inch thick) and roast over a low charcoal fire or on a wire rack over the burner of your stove.
3
Serve hot with butter and fresh white cheese.

This is the same recipe I use except I fry them in sm amnt of oil and sometimes add the white "frying cheese" Blanco something cause it doesn't stick...yummy. I can't wait to try them as suggested, grilled, now those will have to be awesome. Thanks, Witch Doctor.
