In Colombia we usually just had it plain, sometimes stuffed with cheese, but usually just like that. You don't need all this other stuff to enjoy just a simple homemade arepa.

With that said. I always like to go above and beyond because I love food, and I always want more of it.

so heres the recipe:

Arepa:

2 cups pre-cooked white corn flour
2 cups warm water
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 pinch of salt

Carnitas:

1 pork shoulder
4 cups beef stock
1 onion
1 Jalapeno (I used a scotch bonnet 'cause im spicy like that)
2 cloves garlic
1 bay leaf

Spice blend:

2 parts oregano
2 parts cumin
1 part black pepper

Cold pickled red cabbage:

1/2 red cabbage (shredded)
3 medium carrots (julienne)
1/4 bunch coriander
50g salt
50g sugar
250ml vinegar

Pico de gallo:

3 tomatoes
1 onion
1/4 bunch coriander
1/2 lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
salt + pepper

Guacamole:

1 ripe avocado
1/4 bunch coriander
1/2 lemon
1 pinch cumin
salt + pepper

Additional toppings:
