HOMEMADE AREPAS
It was at a New York City hole-in-the-wall eatery where I first fell in love with a stuffed white corn cake. Halfway through my first arepa, one stuffed with black beans, beef, plantains, and salty cheese, I vowed to learn how to make these at home. It's a truly magnificent delivery system for any number of your favorite fillings. I went with some spicy pork and avocado, but I made a version a few days later stuffed with caramelized plantains and salty goat feta.

Steps:
- Stir water and salt together in a bowl. Gradually stir corn meal into water with your fingers until mixture forms a soft, moist, malleable dough.
- Divide dough into 8 golf ball-size balls and pat each one into a patty about 3/8-inch thick.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Working in batches, cook corn patties in hot oil until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer cooked arepas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain until cool enough to handle.
- Slice halfway through each cake horizontally with a thin serrated knife to form a pita-like pocket.

- Locro de Papa. Little fact about me: I dig potatoes. So, naturally, locro de papa (Ecuadorian potato soup) is a favorite of mine. It’s basically your standard potato soup with a seriously delicious twist: Ecuadorian cheese and avocado.
- Pan de Yuca. Move aside, nasty McDonald’s breakfast meals. Instead of stopping at a McDonald’s to fill up during those long road trips, Ecuadorians stop at little joints that serve pan de yuca and yogurt for breakfast.
- Fruit batidos. Ecuadorians make a mean milkshake. When ordering, don’t make the mistake of ordering a “milkshake,” or they’ll make the “American milkshake” with ice cream (definitely not what you want).
- Patacones con Queso. Patacones (fried green Ecuadorian plantains) are a staple of Ecuadorian diets everywhere. You’ll find them as a delicious appetizer at most traditional restaurants, and the cheese is the proverbial cherry on top.
- Ceviche. Whether you’re a fan of fish, lobster, shrimp, chicken, meat, or even just veggies, ceviche can be a thing for you. Typically, it’s made of raw fish cured in citrus (absolutely perfect for lunch or dinner after a beach day), accompanied with sweet potato, plantains, or avocado.
