I had some left over grilled corn and was trying to figure out how to use it. After looking in to a few options, corn cakes, corn soup... I decided on arepas
Mix together
1 cup cornmeal, like you'd use for tamales or tortillas
1/2 cup grated cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
Finely chop and mix together
4 scallions - I used a mix of scallions and chives because I didn't have enough scallions in my garden
1/4 cup cilantro
1 jalapeno
On the stove bring
1 cup of milk to a simmer and add
2 Tablespoons of butter once it's melted turn off the heat
Mix in the cornmeal mixture, once mixed
add the other mixture
let dough sit, if it's not sticking you can add a little more milk
Heat oil in a frying pan, add dough disks and fry until golden
Usually you'd split arepas and fill them, these didn't really split, so I topped them. You can top them with whatever sounds good to you, I used beans and quick chopped veggies topped with avocado.
