Arepa With Black Beans and Avocado Salsa - Feast Your Eyes

by Bruce Watson, Posted Apr 9th 2009 @ 10:00AM

What would happen if one crossed the rich sweetness of northern-style corn bread with the fun shape of a pancake? We're not sure, but it would probably look a lot like an arepa. Simple and hearty, the rich Venezuelan cornmeal patties -- often sliced open and stuffed for a cool-looking sandwich -- are here topped to make an open-faced snack.

Sara of Sara's Kitchen whipped up this intriguing combo of fresh arepa, black beans, a savory avocado salsa and just a touch of queso blanco. A mix of bright flavors and fun textures, it has us intrigued -- and mulling over a few salsa notions of our own!

It's there, but you really have to look for it. The words "This recipe" open a link.

I haven't made it, but I have to say--I think it's worth the search!
