Yields about 22 6-ounce arepas
Blend all ingredients in a blender until the consistency is smooth and soft. Store in refrigerator until use.
Open each Arepa disc as a pocket and place a dollop of Cilantro Mojo, 4 ounces of grilled white cheese (such as queso fresco), pickled red onions, and the Chicharrón Pork Belly inside. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
Chef Emma Bengtsson of Aquavit gives traditional “meat and potatoes” a textural twist with a sous vide pork collar.
Seared to perfection and then finished slowly, this sous vide lamb shank will become a go-to for future get-togethers.
