Arepitas With Chimichurri and Queso Fresco, Recipe courtesy of Susanna Goihman, Azafran Restaurant, Philadelphia Love latin infused tapa like dishes I have yet to make this recipe, so if you do, please share your thoughts Arepitas are similar to corn fritters , These were awesome, but are slightly challenging to fry My houses was filled with smoke at one point because I did not use a thermometer with the oil, so I highly recommend doing so After I finally got the right temp for the oil they turned out great, very filling! The chimichurri was perfect
