About Arepa pelua
Arepa Pelua is a savory dish from Venezuelan cuisine, combining the rich flavors of shredded beef and melted yellow cheese inside a warm, golden arepa. The arepa, made from pre-cooked corn flour, is a staple in Venezuela, providing a gluten-free base that is versatile and satisfying. The shredded beef is typically slow-cooked, making it tender and flavorful, while the cheese adds creamy indulgence. Nutritionally, Arepa Pelua offers a good source of protein from the beef and essential nutrients like calcium from the cheese. The corn flour base is high in carbs but free of gluten, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. However, it can be calorie-dense depending on portion size and the amount of cheese used. Balancing the cheese and opting for lean cuts of beef can make this traditional dish a hearty and nourishing option.
