Friends of good food, today I bring you this simple but delicious recipe, a different way to eat arepas without breaking our healthy diet.
We know that there are many ways to prepare delicious dishes with this ingredient, such as plantains. Recently, I shared some delicious empanadas, and today it's arepas' turn, but with an extra ingredient.
The ingredients were:
- 2 green plantains
- 3 tablespoons of oatmeal
- Salt to taste
As you can see, with just a few ingredients that are easy to find, let's see how I made them.
Preparation:
The first thing I did was peel our bananas and place them in a small pot with water to cook and soften them a little.
Once this was done, we proceeded to mash them. I chose to grate them, which is more work, but I don't know, it's up to each person. You can use a potato masher; the important thing is that they are well mashed, almost like a dough.
Once the banana has been mashed, add the oat flour and begin to knead as you would normally, as if you were making arepa flour.
This is how it will look after kneading it well, once the oatmeal has dissolved. Another tip is that you can add a little water to soften it and make it easier to knead.
Once our dough is ready, we place it in a small pan, previously heated with a little oil, so that our arepas brown and fry, and this is how they should look.馃憞
They really are delicious, and as I said, they're a different way to eat our arepas. You can add flaxseed or chia to the dough, and they're super healthy. I really liked how fluffy they turned out. 馃構
I hope you like this idea too, and feel inspired to make them. If you've already made them, let me know how they turned out. I look forward to hearing from you. 馃槣
SPANISH VERSION
Amigos de la buena comida, hoy les traigo esta receta sencilla, pero deliciosa, una forma diferente de comer arepa, sin romper nuestra dieta saludable.
Bien sabemos que hay muchas formas de preparar ricos platos con este ingrediente, como lo es el pl谩tano, hace poco compart铆 unas ricas empanadas, hoy le toco a las arepas, pero con un ingrediente extra.
Ahora los ingredientes fueron:
- 2 pl谩tanos verdes
- 3 cucharadas de harina de avena
- Sal al gusto
Como ven, con pocos ingredientes, y f谩ciles de conseguir, veamos como las hice.
Preparaci贸n:
Lo primero que hice fue tomar nuestro pl谩tano y pelarlos, para luego colocarlos en una olla peque帽a, con agua, para que se cocinen y as铆 se ablanden un poco.
Ya con esto, procedemos a triturarlos, yo opte por rallarlos, me sale m谩s trabajo, pero no s茅, es cuesti贸n de cada quien, pueden usar una pisa papas, lo importante es que queden bien triturados, como casi una masa.
Una vez triturado el pl谩tano, le a帽adimos nuestra harina de avena, y comenzamos a amasar, tipo normal, como si fuese con la harina para arepas.
As铆 nos va a quedar, luego de amasarla bien, que se disuelva la harina de avena, otro dato, es que pueden ir agreg谩ndole un poco de agua, para que se ablande, y puedan ir amasando.
Una vez tenemos nuestra masa lista, procedemos a colocarla en un peque帽o sart茅n, previamente calentado con poco aceite, para que se doren y sofr铆en nuestras arepas, y as铆 nos quedar铆an.馃憞
La verdad quedan muy rica, y como dije una forma distinta de comer nuestras arepas, se les puede a帽adir linaza o Ch铆a a nuestra masa, y quedan supersaludables, a m铆 me gustaron mucho, lo esponjosa que quedaron. 馃構
Espero a ustedes tambi茅n les gust茅 esta idea, y se animen a prepararlas, y si ya las hicieron, d铆ganme que tal les quedo, los leo.
