Get to Know our Food: Arepas at Las Palmas in Wicker Park

Marcos Rivera — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:17:35 +0000

Here at las Palmas we strive to have each of our customers get to know the modern mexican food we are creating. By using traditional recipes, ingredients, and styles in a new modern way we arrive at the dishes our customers rave over. For instance the:

CALLOS DE HACHA ~ Pan-seared scallops over a crispy arepa with creamy Poblano salsa & vegetable ragout

One of the things that makes this such and amazing dish is the crispy arepa that is the base of the plating. An arepa is a simple bread that originated in the indigenous people of Nosthern South America's diet. Most often made of cornmeal they canbe grilled. baked, fried, or boiled depending on their use. Similar in appearance and style to a pancake they are often filled with various ingredients depending ont he recipe and cuisine.

Here at our Wicker Park restaurant, Las Palmas, we are using arepas in the pan seared scallop recipe mentioned above. Come try it sometime!
