Ingrédients

• 6 arepas
• 1 Hatfield Quality Meats Oven Roasted Pork Loin Filet
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 small ripe avocados
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 cup red onion slices
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 1/4 cups of water
• 2 cups arepa flour (pre-cooked corn flour)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Préparation

1. 1

   To cook the pork: In a large sauce pan, heat the oil over high heat, add the strips of pork loin and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until browned, stirring frequently. Keep aside on a warm plate.

2. 2

   In a small bowl mash the avocado and mix with lime juice and salt. Keep in the fridge until ready to assemble the arepas.

3. 3

   To make the arepas: In a medium bowl add the water, arepa flour, butter and salt. Mix with your hands, making circular movements while breaking the lumps that may form with your fingers, until you have a dough. Let rest for 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Form balls and flatten them gently until they’re about 1/2 inch thick discs.

5. 5

   Place the discs on the skillet and cook the arepas for about 3 minutes on each side or until lightly golden brown. Cover them with aluminum foil to keep them warm.

6. 6

   Split each arepa in half and fill them with pork, avocado mixture, cilantro and onion slices and serve.
