Arepas with Mexican Pulled Pork

October 20, 2014 by Angela LeMoine 10 Comments

Areas with Mexican Pulled Pork | LeMoine Family Kitchen #pork #mexican #guacamole #slowcooked #pulledpork #arepa

 

I have been dying to attempt to make Arepas for a long time! I saw them on a cooking show a while back and thought now those seem easy enough and delicious!!!! Whats an arepa? Precooked corn meal, water, salt and shredded Mexican cheese formed into a patty then browned on each side. To build this amazing Mexican style sandwich, I made an incredible pulled pork with a roasted chili sauce. To go along with it, and machete extra messy, some guacamole and diced red onion. The end result was amazing!!! 

Making the areas was actually really easy! The key is that you MUST use precooked corn meal! You can find it right in the same section with the regular bagged corn meal. You need the precooked because they don’t cook for long and this is basically an instant cook. After the cook them on a griddle or frying pan you open them up and stuff them with a slow cooked pork that I tossed with a delicious roasted chili sauce! To balance it all out, a good dollop of cold guacamole and diced red onion.

The pork all on its own is fantastic!! Seasoned really simply with salt, pepper and garlic then browned on each side in a nice heavy pot. Add in some water, an onion and some Sofrito {tomato cooking base sauce found in International aisle}. Slow cooked in the oven for 4 hours until it is just falling apart tender! The sauce comes together really easily and adds incredible flavor {you will likely have some extra sauce and I’ll be making Mexican Meatloaf Muffins using it so stay tuned for that!} ! I will definitely be making this again soon!

    This sounds like a wonderful Mexican meal. We are big on Tex Mex flavours having lived in Texas and Tennessee.
