Directions Ropa Vieja with Arepas
Directions
-
Drizzle chuck roast with olive oil and rub adobo on top.
Pour beef broth into a slow cooker, add recaito, sofrito, and sazon. Add the chuck roast, onion, olives, and garlic. Cook on Low for 8 hours. Add diced tomatoes and carrots. Continue cooking until flavors blend, about 2 hours more.
Bring milk to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
Combine arepa flour, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the hot milk and honey and stir until combined. Let mixture stand until milk is absorbed enough for a soft dough to form, 1 to 2 minutes. Form dough into 12 balls about 2 inches in diameter, flatten between palms into 3 1/2- to 4-inch patties about 1/3-inch thick.
Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry 4 arepas at a time until lightly golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
