Bollitos Pelones

Hello, arepa lovers! Today, we have a special recipe for you. This one has a bit of the Venezuelan Christmas flavour, and is translated (literally) as “bald buns”. 

It is a little ball made with arepa dough (so yes, it is gluten free!) and stuffed with a tasty stew, similar to the one used in hallacas, our traditional Christmas dish, and they’re bathed in a homemade tomato sauce. It is easy to make but has a lot of steps, so… are you inspired? Let’s go for it! 

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil 
  • 1 onion, diced 
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
